Heb 9:17 · Douay-Rheims
“For a testament is of force, after men are dead: otherwise it is as yet of no strength, whilst the testator liveth.”
On this verse:
“after--literally, "over," as we say "upon the death of the testators"; not as THOLUCK, "on the condition that slain sacrifices be there," which the Greek hardly sanctions. otherwise--"seeing that it is never availing" [ALFORD]. BENGEL and LACHMANN read with an interrogation, "Since, is it ever in force (surely not) while the testator liveth?"”
