Chapter 15

Notes

1. 1

   Si. This is Oehler’s reading, who takes “si” to be ="an.” But perhaps “sis” (="si vis”), which is Fr. Junius’ correction, is better:  “Come, now, let us, if you please, give a general sketch of her mien and habit.”

2. 2

   Pura; perhaps “smooth.”

3. 3

   Compare with this singular feature, Isa. xxxvii. 22.

4. 4

   i.e., as Rigaltius (referred to by Oehler), explains, after the two visions of angels who appeared to him and said, “Arise and eat.” See 1 Kings xix. 4–13. [It was the fourth, but our author having mentioned two, inadvertently calls it the third, referring to the “still small voice,” in which Elijah saw His manifestation.]
