[1328] Manifested e.g., in his two dreams. See Gen. xxxvii.
[1329] Comp. Rom. ix. 5.
[1330] Or, “Judah.”
[1331] This is an error. It is not “his father,” Jacob, but Moses, who thus blesses him. See Deut. xxxiii. 17. The same error occurs in adv. Marc. 1. iii. c. xxiii.
[1332] Not strictly “the same;” for here the reference is to Gen. xlix. 5-7.
[1333] i.e., Simeon and Levi.
[1334] i.e., the scribes and Pharisees.
[1335] Perfecerunt iniquitatem ex sua secta. There seems to be a play on the word “secta” in connection with the outrage committed by Simeon and Levi, as recorded in Gen. xxxiv. 25-31; and for συνετέλεσαν ἀδικίαν ἐξαιρέσεως αὐτῶν (which is the reading of the LXX., ed. Tisch. 3, Lips. 1860), Tertullian’s Latin seems to have read, συνετέλεσαν ἀδικίαν ἐξ αἱρέσεως αὐτῶν.
[1336] See Gen. xlix. 5-7 in LXX.; and comp. the margin of Eng. ver. on ver. 7, and Wordsworth in loc., who incorrectly renders ταῦρον an “ox” here.
[1337] What the sense of this is it is not easy to see. It appears to have puzzled Pam. and Rig. so effectually that they both, conjecturally and without authority, adopted the reading found in adv. Marc. l. iii. c. xviii. (from which book, as usual, the present passage is borrowed), only altering illis to ipsis.
[1338] See Ex. xvii. 8-16; and comp. Col. ii. 14, 15.
[1340] Their sin was “speaking against God and against Moses” (Num. xxi. 4-9).
[1341] Comp. Col. ii. 14, 15, as before; also Gen. iii. 1, etc.; 2 Cor. xi. 3; Rev. xii. 9.
[1342] Comp. 2 Cor. xi. 14-15; Matt. xxv. 41; Rev. xii. 9.
[1343] Comp. de Idol. c. v.; adv. Marc. l. iii. c. xviii.
[1344] A ligno. Oehler refers us to Ps. xcvi. 10 (xcv. 10 in LXX.); but the special words “a ligno” are wanting there, though the text is often quoted by the Fathers.
[1345] Lignarium aliquem regem. It is remarkable, in connection herewith, that our Lord is not only called by the Jews “the carpenter’s son” (Matt. xiii. 55; Luke iv. 22), but “the carpenter” (Mark vi. 3).
[1346] See Isa. ix. 6.
[1347] Lignum.
[1348] See Jer. xi. 19 (in LXX.).
