The vulgar Latin for [Greek or Hebrew], reads erit Firmamentum; in terra, which I should suppose to be corrupted from frum•ntum; but that the LXX. who are followed also by other Translations, as the Arabic and Ethiopic, read [Greek or Hebrew], firmamentum. And this some think to be corrupted from [Greek or Hebrew], an handful of Corn, which is very probable. Neither is the word [Greek or Hebrew] any where else used in the Scripture, and may as well have something foreign in it, as come from [Greek or Hebrew]. So also v. 17. [Greek or Hebrew] is no where else used for sobolescet, or pliabit, as it is here rendered; from [Greek or Hebrew] a Son, which is but thrice used in that signification; Gen. 21. v. 23. by a Philistine; and Job 18. v. 19. by an Arabian; and Isa. 14. v. 22. concerning a Son among the Chaldeans; which argue it to be a foreign word; being properly used in a Prophecy of the calling of the Gentiles; as this is; so in the same subject it is said [Greek or Hebrew] Chasmannim shall come to the Messiah, Psal. 68.32. which we render Princes, and it may be such were intended; but the word seems to be Egyptian for Hebrew it is not, though afterwards used among the Jews, whence the family of Mattathias were called Hasmoneans. But to return; it is evident that in this Psalm much light was communicated unto the Church of old, into the Office, Work, Grace, Compassion and rule of the Messiah, with the Calling, and glorious access of the Gentiles unto him.
The vulgar Latin for 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, reads erit Firmamentum; in terra, which I should suppose to be corrupted from frum•ntum; but that the LXX. who are followed also by other Translations, as the Arabick and Aethiopick, read 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, firmamentum. And this some think to be corrupted from 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, an handfull of Corn, which is very probable. Neither is the word any where else used in the Scripture, and may as well have something forreign in it, as come from . So also v. 17. is no where else used for sobolescet, or pliabit, as it is here rendered; from a Son, which is but thrice used in that signification;
