CHAP. II.
Chap. 2. v. 6, 7, 8. [Greek or Hebrew]. § 4 What is man that thou art mindful of him, or the Son of man that thou visitest him? thou hast made him less for a little while than the Angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour, and hast set him over the works of thy hands. Thou hast subjected all things under his feet. From Psalm 8. v. 5, 6, 7, 8. The words of the Apostle are the same with those in the present Copy of the LXX. Theodotion, [Greek or Hebrew] from the ambiguous signification of the word [Greek or Hebrew] about which great stirs have been raised, whereof in their proper place. Chrysostom on this Text mentions some different Translations of the words of the Psalms. [Greek or Hebrew] saith he, [Greek or Hebrew], another Book reads, what is he according to man that thou rememberest him. [Greek or Hebrew], is not [Greek or Hebrew] but [Greek or Hebrew], What is mortal man. Again, [Greek or Hebrew]. Another instead of, thou visitest him, that thou wilt visit him. Again, [Greek or Hebrew], ⟨p. 48⟩instead of less, or a little while than Angels; Another, a little less than God; and Another, l•ss than God. And he adds the Hebrew is [Greek or Hebrew]. So different was their pronunciation of the Hebrew from that in use amongst us. Again, he adds, [Greek or Hebrew], thou shalt crown him with Glory and Honour; and yet, [Greek or Hebrew], thou madest him to have power. From all which variety, it is most evident, that there were various Readings of this Context in the ancient Copies of the LXX, for no footsteps of them appear in the remains of Aquila, Theodotion, or Symmachus, and that therefore the Common Reading which is now fixed in the Great Bible, was translated thither, from this place of the Apostle.
