In L’Estrange’s Translation of Josephus, p. 10, he says “God commanded Eve to tread upon his [the Serpent’s] head, both as the fountain of all our woes, and as the part where he most easily receives a mortal wound.” Reland says “Quia interpres vetus hæc reddit, _ut mulier ejus capiti plagas inferret_, &c. Nulla apud Josephum est mentio mulieris, nec ullum hactenus codicem Josephi conspectum memini, in quo hoc loco mulier commemoratur.”—Hudson’s Josephus, vol. i. page 8, note c. Footnote 42: For the accuracy of _this number_ we have the testimony of Josephus in two different places of his works, which have escaped the alterations made in the text of his Jewish Antiquities, by wicked and designing persons. See the Proœmium to that work, paragraph γ; and the Prologue to his first Book against Apion. Footnote 43: This eminent Prophet was favoured with a vision of God’s glory, which, though preceded by storm, and earthquake, and fire, was accompanied with a _still small voice_. This was the _voice_ of love and mercy, whose sweetest notes were heard at Calvary without the gate; for the Septuagint says, κακεῖ Κυριος, _and the Lord was there_; 1 Kings xix. 12.—See the Alexandrine edition. Footnote 44: A name of Apollo, or the Sun; hence, perhaps, Ορος, a _mountain_, because the _morning sun_ first appears on the mountain-tops. Footnote 45: This inversion, or _Metathesis_, is not uncommon in Hebrew, see Joshua xix. 50, and xxiv. 30, compared with Judges ii. 8, 9, where it occurs in this very word in composition. Footnote 46: “The construction of this sentence in the original, indicates that _Baal_ and the _Sun_ are to be considered as one and the same; for the copulative ‏‘ו‎ _Vau_, is not put between them as it is between the remaining words; thus, _and_ the Moon, _and_ the Planets (or, more literally, _and_ Mazzaroth), &c.” The latter term, which occurs also in Job xxxviii. 32, is understood by most critics, to signify the _Twelve Signs of the Zodiac_; if this be its real meaning, the doctrine of the _Celestial Sphere_ must have had a very early origin, and long anterior to the famous sphere of Chiron or Eudoxus.

Footnote 49: Dr. Russell gives the following curious extract from the _Canon Chronicus_ of Sir John Marsham: “Plures in Oriente _Joves_ est investigare, Græcis Romanisque longe recentioribus, nullus datur hîc locus. Varro _trecentos Joves_ introducit: Nos originem quærimus, non multitudinem. Sane omnis de Jove theologia ex Egypto derivata est; nec Jovis solum, sed omnium etiam deorum numina inde petenda sunt.”—See his “Connection,” pp. 389–406. Footnote 50: The inversion and amalgamation of the letters ‏ד‎ and ‏ש‎ producing Z. Footnote 51:
