[1373] Ezek. 8.12-9.6 (especially in the LXX.). Comp. adv. Marc. l. iii. c. xxii. But our author differs considerably even from the LXX.
[1374] Or rather in Deuteronomy. See Deut. 28.65 sqq.
[1375] Or, “sole.”
[1376] In ligno. There are no such words in the LXX. If the words be retained, “thy life” will mean Christ, who is called “our Life” in Col. iii. 4. See also John i. 4; xiv. 6; xi. 25. And so, again, “Thou shalt not trust (or believe) thy life” would mean, “Thou shalt not believe Christ.”
[1377] Or, “in accordance with.”
[1378] i.e., Would they have happened? and, by happening, have been their own proof?
Chapter XII.—Further Proofs from the Calling of the Gentiles.

Chapter XIII.—Argument from the Destruction of Jerusalem and Desolation of Judea.
[1383] Mic. v. 2; Matt. ii. 3-6. Tertullian’s Latin agrees rather with the Greek of St. Matthew than with the LXX.
[1385] Comp. John v. 43; x. 37-38.
[1388] Comp. the “failing eyes” in the passage from Deuteronomy given in c. xi., if “eyes” is to be taken as the subject here. If not, we have another instance of the slipshod writing in which this treatise abounds.
[1389] As His name “Christ” or “Messiah” implies.
[1390] Comp. Ex. xxx. 22-33.
[1391] i.e., in Jerusalem or Judea.
[1392] The Jews.
[1393] Comp. 1 Kings 1.39, where the Eng. ver. has “an horn;” the LXX. τὸ κέρας, “the horn;” which at that time, of course, was in David’s tabernacle (2 Sam. 6.17,) for “temple” there was yet none.
