Not found in Scripture; but comp. Gen. xvii. 26, 27, xiv. 14. Footnote 583: Cod. Sin. inserts, “and then making a pause.” Footnote 584: This sentence is altogether omitted by inadvertence in Cod. Sin. Footnote 585: Some MSS. here read, “and further:” the above is the reading in Cod. Sin., and is also that of Hefele. Footnote 586: This is rendered in the Latin, “the more profound gift,” referring, as it does, to the _Gnosis_ of the initiated. The same word is used in chap. i. Footnote 587: Literally, “has learned a more germane (or genuine) word from me,” being an idle vaunt on account of the ingenuity in interpreting Scripture he has just displayed. Footnote 588: Cod. Sin. has “portion,” corrected, however, as above. See Lev. xi. and Deut. xiv. Footnote 589: Deut. iv. 1. Footnote 590: Literally, “in spirit.” Footnote 591: Cod. Sin. inserts, “and gaze about for some way of escape on account of their greediness, even as these birds alone do not procure food for themselves (by labour), but sitting idle, seek to devour the flesh of others.” The text as above seems preferable: Hilgenfeld, however, follows the Greek. Footnote 592: Cod. Sin. has, “condemned already.” Footnote 593: Dressel has a note upon this passage, in which he refers the words we have rendered “corrupters of boys,” to those who by their dissolute lives waste their fortunes, and so entail destruction on their children; but this does not appear satisfactory. Comp. Clem. Alex. _Pædag._ ii. 10. Footnote 594: We have left τρύπας untranslated. Footnote 595: Cod. Sin. has, “with the body through uncleanness,” and so again in the last clause. Footnote 596: Cod. Sin. inserts, “having received.” Footnote 597: Ps. i. 1. Footnote 598: Literally, “of the pestilent.” Footnote 599: Cod. Sin. reads “perfectly” instead of “perfect,” as do most MSS.; but, according to Dressel, we should read, “have a perfect knowledge concerning the food.” Hilgenfeld follows the Greek. Footnote 600: Or, “resting upon Him.” Footnote 601: Cod. Sin. here has the singular, “one who ruminates.” Footnote 602: Literally, “holy age.” Footnote 603: Cod. Sin. inserts again, “rightly.” Footnote 604: Literally, “should build.” Footnote 605: Cod. Sin. has, “confine still more,” corrected to “tremble still more.” Footnote 606: Cod. Sin. has, “have dug a pit of death.” See Jer. ii. 12, 13. Footnote 607: Comp. Isa. xvi. 1, 2. Footnote 608: Literally, “dark.” Cod. Sin. has, “of darkness.” Footnote 609: Isa. xlv. 2, 3. Footnote 610: Isa. xxxiii. 16. Cod. Sin. has, “thou shalt dwell.” Footnote 611: Cod. Sin. entirely omits the question given above, and joins “the water is sure” to the former sentence. Footnote 612: Isa. xxxiii. 16-18. Footnote 613: Ps. i, 3-6. Footnote 614: Cod. Sin. has, “what meaneth?” Footnote 615: Zeph. iii. 19. Footnote 616:
