Ice. 16. v. 1. Send ye the Lamb to the Ruler of the Land. Targum, [Greek or Hebrew]; § 40 They shall bring their Tribute unto the Messiah of Israel. Observing as it should seem, that the Moabites unto whom these words are spoken, were never after this time tributary to Judah, and withal considering the Prophecy of v. 5. which he applies also (and that properly) unto the Messiah, the Targumist conceived him to be the [Greek or Hebrew], or Ruler here mentioned, unto whom the Moabites are invited to yield obedience; and I conceive it will not be very easy to fix upon a more genuine sense of the words. So also ver. 5. Then shall the Throne of the Messiah of Israel be prepared in Goodness. Doubtless with more Truth than those Christians make use of, who wrest these words also to Hezekiah.
