[1160] i.e., nephew. See Gen. xi. 31; xii. 5.
[1161] See Gen. xix. 1-29; and comp. 2 Pet. ii. 6-9.
Chapter III.—Of Circumcision and the Supercession of the Old Law.
[1162] See Gen. 12-15; 17; Rom. 4.
[1163] Acceperat. So Tertullian renders, as it appears to me, the ἔλαβε of St. Paul in Rom. iv. 11. q. v.
[1164] There is, if the text be genuine, some confusion here. Melchizedek does not appear to have been, in any sense, “subsequent” to Abraham, for he probably was senior to him; and, moreover, Abraham does not appear to have been “already circumcised” carnally when Melchizedek met him. Comp. Gen. 14; 17.
[1165] Tertullian writes Seffora; the LXX. in loco, Σεπφώρα Ex. iv. 24-26, where the Eng. ver. says, “the Lord met him,” etc.; the LXX ἄγγελος Κυρίου.
[1166] Isa. i. 7, 8. See c. xiii. sub fin.
[1167] Again an error; for these words precede the others. These are found in Isa. i. 2.
[1170] Jer. iv. 3, 4. In Eng. ver., “break up your fallow ground;” but comp. de Pu. c. vi. ad init.
[1171] So Tertullian. In Jer. ibid. “Israel and…Judah.”
[1172] Jer. xxxi. 31, 32 (in LXX. ibid. xxxviii. 31, 32); comp. Heb. viii. 8-13.
[1174] Perhaps an allusion to Phil. iii. 1, 2.
[1175] See Dan. ii. 34-35, 44, 45. See c. xiv. below.
[1177] i.e., of beating swords into ploughs, etc.
[1178] Comp. Ex. xxi. 24-25; Lev. xxiv. 17-22; Deut. xix. 11-21; Matt. v. 38.
[1179] Especially spiritually. Comp. 1 Cor. iii. 6-9; ix. 9-10, and similar passages.
[1180] Obsequia. See de Pa. c. iv. note 1.
