Introductory Notice To Lactantius.
[628] Exsurget homo ex Israel This is taken from the Septuagint, instead of the ordinary reading, “A sceptre shall rise out of Israel.”
[629] [The oracle of Apollo Didymæus; from the Milesian temple burnt by Xerxes. Readers will remember the humour of Arnobius about these divers names, vol. vi. p. 419, this series.]
[633] Flos. Quoted from the Septuagint, ἄνθος.
[634] Implebit eum spiritus timoris Dei.
[635] 2 Sam. vii. 4-5, 12:12–14, 16.
[636] Fidem consequetur, following the Septuagint πιστωθήσεται.
[637] Hierosolyma. As though derived from ἰερόν and Σολομω̑ν. But Solomon was not the founder of the city. The name is probably derived from Salem, of which city Melchisedec was king. Some derive it from Jebus (the ancient name of the city) and Salem. [See vol. ii. p. 107, note 3, this series.]
[638] Non est fidem consecuta, as above.
[639] Thus Peter speaks, 1 Ep. ii. 5, “Ye are built up a spiritual house.”
Chap. XIV.—Of the Priesthood of Jesus Foretold by the Prophets.
[641] Corporaliter.
[642] Ps. cx. 3, 4, quoted from the Septuagint. With reference to this priesthood, see Heb. v.
[644] Fidelem, i.e.; firm and stedfast.
[645] In conspectu meo. The Septuagint, ἐνώπιον χριστου̑ μου; and so the English authorized version, “before my anointed.”
[647] The authorized version reads Joshua, which has the same meaning with Jesus. See Heb. iv. 8. [Compare Justin, vol. i. note 4, p. 227.]
[648] Diabolus, i.e., the calumniator. To stand on the right hand is to accuse with authority. See Ps. cix. 6.
