CHAP. III.
§ 6 Ver. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. [Greek or Hebrew]. To day if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the day of Provocation in the day of Temptation in the Wilderness, when your Fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my Works forty years: wherefore I was grieved with that Generation and said, they do always err in heart, and they have not known my ways; so I swore in my wrath they shall not enter into my rest. From Psalm. 95. v. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. The Translation of the LXX. agrees with the words of the Apostle, both of them answering the Original. Only the Apostle clearly to express the Reason of Gods Judgements on that people in the Wilderness, distinguisheth the Words somewhat otherwise than they are in the Hebrew Text. For whereas that saith, When your Fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my Works. Forty years long was I grieved with that Generation, The Apostle adds that season of forty years, to the mention of their sins, and interposing [Greek or Hebrew] wherefore, refers his Speech unto the words foregoing, as containing the cause of the ensuing Wrath and Judgement. And although our present Copies of the Greek Bibles distinguish the Words according to the Hebrew Text; yet Theodoret informs us, that some Copies made the distinction with the Apostle, and added [Greek or Hebrew] before [Greek or Hebrew], which also is observed by Nobilius; and this could arise from no other cause, but an attempt to insert the very words of the Apostle in that Text; as did the [Greek or Hebrew] also reckoned amongst its various Sections, though [Greek or Hebrew] remain in the vulgar Editions.
