Footnote 97:
_It is certain, that the particles_ τις, אשר, _and others of the like
import, are often left out, and the defect thereof is to be supplied
in our translation: Thus it is in_ Job xxxiii. 27. _where the Hebrew
word, which might have been rendered_ and he shall say, _is better
rendered_ and if any say, &c. _and in_ Gen. xlviii. 2. _instead of_ he
told Jacob, _it is better rendered_ one told Jacob, _or_ somebody
_told him; and in_ Mark ii. 1. τις, _which is left out in the Greek
text, is supplied in the translation, in which we do not read it_
after days, _but_ after some days. _See Nold. Concord. Partic. Page
41, 42. in which several texts of scripture are produced to the same
purpose, and among the rest, this in_ Heb. x. 38. _which we are at
present considering as what ought to be rendered_ if any one draw
back. _In this and such like instances we may observe, that the verb
personal has an impersonal signification, or that which is properly
active is rendered passively; so_ Eccl. ix. 15. זמצא בה _is not
rendered_ and he found in it, &c. _but_ now there was found in it;
_many other instances of the like nature are to be observed in the
Hebrew text in the Old Testament; and sometimes this mode of speaking
is imitated by the Greek text in the New. I might also observe, with
respect to the scripture under our present consideration, that the
learned Grotius observes that_ τις _ought to be supplied, and
consequently the text ought to be rendered as it is in our
translation_, if any man draw back, _which he observes as what is
agreeable to the grammatical construction thereof, without any regard
to the doctrine we are maintaining, with respect to which, he is
otherwise minded_.
