§ 26 Unto these Reasons and Testimonies we may subjoin the use of the words themselves. [Greek or Hebrew] is originally and properly a rod, or staff; all other significations of it are ⟨p. 151⟩Metaphorical. Among them the principal is that of Sceptre, an Ensign of Rule and Government. Nor is it absolutely used in any other sense, in that very frequently; Psalm 45. [Greek or Hebrew], A Sceptre of uprightness is the Sceptre of thy Kingdom, Numb. 24.17. [Greek or Hebrew], a Sceptre shall arise out of Israel; that is, a Prince or a Ruler; Targum; Christ shall rule out of Israel. And this sense of the words is made more evident by its conjunction with [Greek or Hebrew], a Law-giver; he that prescribes and writes Laws with Authority to be observed. Deut. 33.2. in a portion, [Greek or Hebrew], of the Law-giver hidden, that is Moses; the great Scribe saith the Targum: for as they suppose, the Sepulchre of Moses was in the Lot of Gad. Mechokek saith Aben Ezra; that is [Greek or Hebrew], the great President or Ruler. Psal. 108.19. Judah [Greek or Hebrew], my Law-giver; with Allusion to this Prediction of Jacob. Isa. 33.22. The Lord is our Judge, the Lord is [Greek or Hebrew], our Law-giver. These two words then in conjunction, do absolutely denote Rule and Dominion.
