 93 12,3|       certainly the two halves of ver. 15 have been transposed,
 94 12,3|       scribal misunderstanding of ver. 16. “As thou hast done,

 96 12,3|      reality.~ The imperatives in ver. 12ff do not look to the

101 13,5|     abstain from public ministry (ver. 24). Since the exiles would
102 13,5|      oppose him — the language of ver. 25 is probably to be taken
103 13,5|         restraint with restraint (ver. 26) by making the prophet
104 13,5|           would be able to speak (ver. 27).~ This is a suitable

107 13,7|           presence of the elders (ver. 1) suggests that whatever

109 13,7|  symbolism comes out once more in ver. 3 by the mention of the
110 13,7|       which made Jehovah jealous (ver. 3ff), placed at the north,

126 13,5|         obvious interpretation of ver. 26 is that the statutes

150 15,4|        other hand the 70 years of ver. 12 (a round figure probably
151 15,4|        time. The clue is given by ver. 15, for the same people

157 15,4|      Himself would be their wall (ver. 5).~ This ends the first
158 15,4|       Zion’s future glory. Though ver. 13 could refer to Jehovah’
159 15,4|      ambiguity of “stand before” (ver. 1), which makes us misinterpret
160 15,4|           to stand in attendance (ver. 4), or to stand before
161 15,4|          a yet future act of God (ver. 9). That God is willing
162 15,4|         fellow priests is a sign (ver. 8, R.V). of the future
163 15,4|             The interpretation of ver. 9 is very difficult, but
164 15,4|           the difficult Hebrew of ver. 12 may and probably does
165 15,4|           God. It would seem that ver. 10b (read, These seven
166 15,4|     Jehovah ..). is the answer to ver. 5. For the idea of the
167 15,5|         priest as Messianic king (ver. 12f) would be to run counter
168 15,5|      taken English translation in ver. 12, “Behold the man…” it
169 15,5|        the R.V. mg. is correct in ver. 13 and that it is a promise
170 15,7|         to follow the R.V. mg. in ver. 10. The reference in ver.
