Chapter 11

Notes

1. 1

   Oehler divides these two chapters as above. The generally adopted division unites this sentence to the preceding chapter, and begins the new chapter with, “The memory of His precepts;” and perhaps this is the preferable division.

2. 2

   altare. [Heb. xiii. 10.]

3. 3

   Matt. v. 22, 23.

4. 4

   Perhaps there may be an allusion to Phil. iv. 6, 7.

5. 5

   See chap. vii. above, and compare Matt. vi. 14, 15.

6. 6

   “Ab initio” probably refers to the book of Genesis, the initium, or beginning of Scripture, to which he is about to refer. But see likewise Eph. iv. 31, Matt. v. 21, 22.  [Gen. iv. 6, 7.]

7. 7

   Gen. xlv. 24: so the LXX.

8. 8

   See Acts ix. 2; xix. 9, 23, in the Greek.

9. 9

   See Matt. v. 17.

10. 10

    Matt. v. 21, 22.

11. 11

    Matt. v. 21, 22; 1 Pet. iii. 9, etc.

12. 12

    Eph. iv. 26.
