be a Prince and a Savior."

"Only in the New Covenant does the Old unfold, And hidden lies the New Testament in the Old."

Matthew 11:13, 22:40; Acts 13:15, etc. The ordinary Jewish division is into the Law (five books of Moses);

the Prophets (earlier: Joshua, Judges, 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings; and later: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and

the Twelve Minor Prophets); and "The Writings," or sacred writings, hagiographa, - which comprise The

Psalms, Proverbs, and Job; - the "five rolls," read at special festivals in the Synagogue: the Song of Songs,

Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, and Esther; -Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, and 1 and 2 Chronicles (called in

Hebrews "Words, or Acts, of the Days," journals, or diaries). Comp. Luke 24:44.

It is noteworthy that in Genesis 1 we always read, "And the evening and the morning were the first day,"

or second, or third day, etc. Hence the Jews calculate the day from evening to evening, that is, from the first

appearance of the stars in the evening to the first appearance of stars next evening, and not, as we do, from

midnight to midnight.

Many different views have been broached as to the exact locality of Eden, which it would scarcely be

suitable to discuss in this place. The two opinions deserving most attention are those which place it either

near the northern highlands of Armenia, or else far south in the neighborhood of the Persian Gulf. We know

that two of the streams mentioned as issuing from Paradise were the Tigris and the Euphrates, and we can

readily conceive that the changes subsequently produced by the flood may have rendered the other

descriptions of the district inapplicable to its present aspect.

It may be well here to note that whenever the word Lord is printed in our English Bibles in capitals, its

Hebrew equivalent is Jehovah - a term which marks the idea of the covenant God.

A modem commentator holds that the words of Genesis 4:17, only imply that Cain "was building," not that

he had finished the building of his city.

A modern critic has rendered Lamech's Sword -song thus:

"Adah and Zillah, hear my voice: ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech; Yea, I slay men for

my wound, and young men for my hurt. For if Cain is avenged sevenfold, Lamech seventy and

sevenfold" -

referring to the invention of Tubal-Cain, and meaning that if God avenged Cain, he would with his sword

avenge himself seventy and sevenfold for every wound and every hurt.

Perhaps "Tubal, the smith."

The word is used for "man," from his frailty, in such passages as Psalm 8:4; 90:3; 103:15, etc.

With the exception of Seth, who, of course, was not the eldest son of Adam.

Such are the numbers according to the Hebrew text. There are differences between this and the Greek

translation of the so-called LXX (the Septuagint), and also the Samaritan text. For further particulars we refer

to ch. 10, where also the difference between the chronologies of Ussher and Hales is explained.

Jude 14, 15. This quite accords with what was generally known about Enoch. One of the Old Testament

apocryphal works, written before the time of Christ (Ecclesiasticus 44:16), has it that "Enoch was translated,
