Gen. iii .
This apocryphal work, entitled in Hebrew פטירת מִשה , and in Greek ᾽Ανάληψις , or ᾽Ανάβασις Μωυσέως , is mentioned by several ancient writers; e.g., by Athanasius, in his Synopsis Sacræ Scripturæ ; Nicephorus Constantinopolitanus in his Stichometria , appended to the Chronicon of Eusebius (where he says the ᾽Ανάληψις contained 1400 verses), in the Acts of the Council of Nice, etc., etc. (Ruæus).
Gen. xxii. 12 . The reading in the text is according to the Septuagint and Vulgate, with the exception of the words “quem dilexisti,” which are an insertion.
Cf. Ex. iv. 24–26 .
Ex. xii. 23 , exterminator. Percussor , Vulgate; ὀλοθρεύων , Sept.
Lev. xvi. 8 . ᾽Αποπομπαῖος is the reading of the Sept., “Caper emissarius” of the Vulgate, עֲזָאזל of the Masoretic text. Cf. Fürst and Gesenius s.v. Rufinus translates Apopompæus by “transmissor.”
1 Sam. xviii. 10 , effocare. Septuagint has ἔπεσε : Vulgate, “invasit;” the Masoretic text תִּצְלַח .
1 Kings xxii. 19–23 .
1 Chron. xxi. 1 .
Atterere.
Eccles. x. 4 , “For yielding pacifieth great offences.” The words in the text are, “Quoniam sanitas compescet multa peccata.” The Vulgate has, “Curatio faciet cessare peccata maxima.” The Septuagint reads, Ιαμα καταπαύσει ἁμαρτιας μεγάλας : while the Masoretic text has מֵרְפֵּא (curatio).
Zech. iii. 1 .
Perversum.
Isa. xxvii. 1 .
Ezek. xxviii. 12 sq.
Cf. John xiii. 27 .
Eph. vi. 13 .
Eph. vi. 12 .
Cf. 1 Cor. ii. 6 .
Nemo hominum omnino.
Ex corporali necessitate descendunt.
Quod non simile aliquid pateremur?
Propositum.
Quæ in usu naturaliter habentur.
Sensum eorum penitus possederint.
Gal. v. 17 .
1 Cor. x. 13 .
Carnem talem.
1 Cor. x. 13 .
Pro virtutis suæ quantitate, vel possibilitate.
Nec tamen scriptum est, quia faciet in tentatione etiam exitum sustinendi, sed exitum ut sustinere possimus.
1 Cor. x. 13 .
Ut sustinere possimus.
Repugnandi vincendique.
Fabulosum.
Ps. lxxvi. 10 . Such is the reading of the Vulgate and of the Septuagint. The authorized version follows the Masoretic text.
Eccles. x. 4 ; cf. note 8, p. 329.
2 Cor. x. 5 .
Ps. lxxxiv. 5 . The words in the text are: Beatus vir, cujus est susceptio apud te, Domine, adscensus in corde ejus. The Vulgate reads: Beatus vir, cujus est auxilium abs te: ascensiones in corde suo disposuit. The Septuagint the same. The Masoretic text has מְסִלּוֹת (“festival march or procession:” Furst). Probably the Septuagint and Vulgate had מַעֲלוֹת before them, the similarity between Samech and Ayin accounting for the error in transcription.
2 Cor. viii. 16 .
[See book of Tobit, chaps. v. vi. S.]
Zech. i. 14 . The Vulgate, Septuagint, and Masoretic text all have “in me,” although the Authorized Version reads “with me.”
Shepherd of Hermas , Command. vi. 2. See vol. ii. p. 24.
Epistle of Barnabas . See vol. i. pp. 148, 149.

Sine aliquâ pernicie sui.
John xvi. 33 .
Phil. iv. 13 .
1 Cor. xv. 10 .
Rom. viii. 38, 39 . The word “virtus,” δύναμις , occurring in the text, is not found in the text. recept . Tischendorf reads Δύναμεις in loco (edit. 7). So also Codex Siniaticus.
Excelsa et profunda.
Ps. xxvii. 1–3 .
Palæstricæ artis exercitiis.
John xix. 11 .
Tribus ordinibus.
Cf. Job i. 10, 11 . “Nisi in faciem benedixerit tibi.” The Hebrew verb בָּרַוִ has the double signification of “blessing” and “cursing.” Cf. Davidson’s Commentary on Job , p. 7. Septuag. εὐλογήσει .
