As [Greek or Hebrew] here is put in statu construct•, by [Greek or Hebrew], and the Verb from thence put in the plural number, so 2 Sam. 10.9. Joab saw [Greek or Hebrew], that the face of battle was against him. The Verb [Greek or Hebrew], was, which refers directly to [Greek or Hebrew], the face, agrees not in number with it, but with [Greek or Hebrew], the battle, by which the other is put in construction. So Job. 15.20. [Greek or Hebrew], the number of years is hid: [Greek or Hebrew], are hid, it agrees with [Greek or Hebrew], years; and not with [Greek or Hebrew], the number; in the very same kind of construction with that of the words here used by the Prophet. So likewise 1 Sam. 24. [Greek or Hebrew]; arcus fortium confractorum. The Adjective [Greek or Hebrew] broken, agrees in number with [Greek or Hebrew], the mighty, though it be apparently spoken of the bow: and likewise, Hos. 6. v. 5. [Greek or Hebrew], thy Judgements sh•ll go forth as the light: [Greek or Hebrew], shall go forth, agrees in number with [Greek or Hebrew] the light, though it respect [Greek or Hebrew], thy Judgements, in the plural number; and many other instances of the like kind, may be alleged to the same purpose. This construction then, though anomalous, yet is in that Language so frequent, as not to create any difficulty in the words; and yet possibly the words may not be without a further sense, intimating the coming of the Nations to Christ upon his coming into the Temple.

Joab saw 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, that the face of battle was against him. The Verb , was, which refers directly to , the face, agrees not in number with it, but with , the battel, by which the other is put in construction. So
