Notes, Critical and Explanatory, on the Holy Scriptures

The Greek irepuTraDiaa '-i walked about in the bottom of the deep." The all pervading char- acter of wisdom is declared. God has ordained and arranged all things wisely. T The Greek reads thus : " In the waves of the sea, and in all the earth, and in every people and nation I got a possession." This here itiplies : " I have power."

This clause is inserted: plateis cannot here mean streets.

G. " The law which; Moses commanded, an inheritance for the assemblies of Jacob." The other words are added, as likewise the following verse. God gave the law through Moses, which, was a most precious heritage for the Israelites. A verse here follows in the common Greek, which is not in the Sixtine edition. The verse following in the Vulgate ia not in the Greek.

G. " And like an aqueduct came forth into paradise." The other word3 are by way of paraphrase, or double version. Some think that the sacred writer here speaks, representing himself as conveyin!^ something of the abundant waters of wisdom; but his language suits better the Divine Word as manifested in the new dispensation.
