Unto this Judah, that we may return, upon the grant and during the continuance § 21 of this Sceptre and Law-writer, it is promised that the Shiloh should come; that is the Messiah, and that unto him shall be the gathering of the people. So was the Promise unto Abraham, namely that in his seed, all people, or all Nations of the Earth should be blessed. [Greek or Hebrew], Shiloh is a word used only in this place; and it comes from [Greek or Hebrew], Shalah, to prosper, or save.
