The great Masters among the Jews are exceedingly perplexed with this Testimony, § 4 and have therefore invented endless ways for the enervating of it, openly and loudly contradicting one another, almost about every word in the Text: Some would evade the sense of it, by interpreting [Greek or Hebrew], to be only a Rod, of correction, say some, of supportment say others; and [Greek or Hebrew], they would only have to be a Scribe, such as they fancy their present Rabbins to be. Some by [Greek or Hebrew], understand the person of Judah unto whom they ascribe I know not what pre-eminence, and not his Family and Tribe. Some would have [Greek or Hebrew] to be separated from [Greek or Hebrew], that follows, because of the accent Jethib, and to signify for ever. Some by the Shiloh would have David intended, some Ahijah the Prophet, some the City Shiloh, and most know not what. [Greek or Hebrew], some would have to be destruction, some instruction and obedience: And on every one of these cavils, do they build various interpretations, and provide various evasions for themselves, all which we shall either obviate or remove out of the way in the ensuing Discourse.
