Introductory Notice To Lactantius.
[704] Doctrina pacis nostræ, “the correction.”
[705] Livore ejus nos sanati sumus. The word “livor” properly denotes the blackness arising from a bruise.
Chap. XVII.—Of the Superstitions of the Jews, and Their Hatred Against Jesus.
[706] Intus inclusam. Another reading is, “Intus inclusâ malitia,” with malice shut up within.
[707] Solveret, “He loosened or relaxed.”
[708] Non vacaret.
[709] Operans in salutem hominum, “by healing diseases and doing good.”
[710] There is no mention of this in the Gospels.
[711] Secesserat: “withdrawn themselves from the teaching of the scribes and Pharisees, and betaken themselves to Christ.”
[713] Some read, “evincet et deliget validas nationes;” but the reading “deliget” seems to have arisen from a corrupt reading of the Septuagint,—ἐκλέξει, “he shall choose,” having been substituted for ἐξελεγξει, “he shall rebuke.”
[714] The scene of the giving of the law is sometimes spoken of as Horeb, as Ex. iii., and sometimes as Sinai, as Ex. xix. The difficulty of discriminating the two is very great. See Stanley’s Sinai and Palestine [pp. 29, 32, 36–37, 40–42, etc. Robinson, vol. i. 177, 551.]
[716] Ego vindicabo in eum.
[717] Vivam præsentemque legem.
[718] Another reading is, “per Moysen,” by Moses.
[719] The quotation is not from Isaiah, but from Jer. iv. 3, 4.
[721] i.e., Joshua See Josh. v. 2.
[722] “Figuram gerebat,” typified, or set forth as in a figure.
[723] i.e., Osee, Oshea, or Hoshea, as Joshua was first called. See Num. xiii. 8. [But note Num. xiii. 16. The change was significant. See Pearson On the Creed, art. ii. 125–128. Thus, “Jehovah-Saviour” = Jesus, and the change was prophetic of “the Name which is above every name.” Compare Gen. xxxii. 29 and Phil. ii. 9, 10.]
[724] Per figuram nominis. The name Jesus or Joshua signifies a deliverer or saviour. [Nay, more, Jehovah-Salvator, thus: Hoshea + Jah = Jehoshua = Joshua = Jesus.]
