In Cod. Sin. we find “_Rachel_.” The orthography is doubtful, but there is little question that a kind of bramble-bush is intended. Footnote 547: Thus the Latin interprets; others render “shoots.” Footnote 548: Cod. Sin. has “thus” instead of “this.” Footnote 549: Literally, “was.” Footnote 550: The text is here in great confusion, though the meaning is plain. Dressel reads, “For how are they alike, and why [does He enjoin] that the goats should be good and alike?” The Cod. Sin. reads, “How is He like Him? For this that,” etc. Footnote 551: Cod. Sin. here inserts “the goat.” Footnote 552: Cod. Sin. reads, “for as he who ... so, says he,” etc. Footnote 553: Comp. Acts xiv. 22. Footnote 554: Literally, “men in whom sins are perfect.” Of this, and much more that follows, no mention is made in Scripture. Footnote 555: Cod. Sin. has “upon sticks,” and adds, “Behold again the type of the cross, both the scarlet wool and the hyssop,”—adopted by Hilgenfeld. Footnote 556: Cod. Sin. has, “the law is Christ Jesus,” corrected to the above. Footnote 557: The Greek text is, “then no longer [sinful] men, no longer the glory of sinners,” which Dressel defends and Hilgenfeld adopts, but which is surely corrupt. Footnote 558: Literally, “in witness of the tribes.” Footnote 559: “In witness of.” Footnote 560: Thus the sense seems to require, and thus Dressel translates, though it is difficult to extract such a meaning from the Greek text. Footnote 561: Ps. xviii. 44. Footnote 562: Isa. xxxiii. 13. Footnote 563: Jer. iv. 4. Footnote 564: Jer. vii. 2. Footnote 565: Ps. xxxiv. 11-13. The first clause of this sentence is wanting in Cod. Sin. Footnote 566: Cod. Sin. has “Lord.” Footnote 567: Isa. i. 2. Footnote 568: In proof of the spiritual meaning of circumcision; but Hilgenfeld joins the words to the preceding sentence. Footnote 569: Isa. i. 10. Footnote 570: Cod. Sin. reads, “it is the voice,” corrected, however, as above. Footnote 571: Cod. Sin. has, “that we might hear the word, and not only believe,” plainly a corrupt text. Footnote 572: Cod. Sin., at first hand, has “slew them,” but is corrected as above. Footnote 573: The meaning is here very obscure, but the above rendering and punctuation seem preferable to any other. Footnote 574: Cod. Sin., with several other MSS., leaves out “new.” Footnote 575: Jer. iv. 3. Cod. Sin. has “God” instead of “Lord.” Footnote 576: Deut. x. 16. Footnote 577: This contrast seems to be marked in the original. Cod. Sin. has, “Behold, receive again.” Footnote 578: Jer. ix. 25, 26. Footnote 579: Dressel and Hilgenfeld read, “their covenant,” as does Cod. Sin.; we have followed Hefele. Footnote 580: Cod. Sin. has “children of love,” omitting “richly,” and inserting it before “looking forward.” Footnote 581: Literally, “doctrines.” Footnote 582:
