But that is far more hard which is objected concerning Pinhas, 1namely that he remained on live even to the time of the wars of the ⟨image 244⟩Beniamites. Which if it be so, then must he be at that time .300. years of age Therefore some think that it is more commodious to draw back this history unto the beginning of the Judges. But I see not what should let, but that god might permit him to live so long. For when he had slain a prince of Israel & a Madianitish woman, when they were committing whoredom, god granted him not only to succeed his father in the priesthood, but also gave him very long to live.2 But undoubtedly I chiefly allow the order and course of the history, from which unless great necessity urge, I will not depart. And in this sentence I follow the judgement of David Kimhi, whose authority in expounding of the text I think is not to be contemned. Yea and all the Hebrews in a manner agree in this, that Pinhas lived a very long time, and there are some which produce his age even unto the time of Elijah the Prophet. Unto whom I do not agree, because no necessity compelleth me thereunto. Howbeit as concerning this thing I will not much strive: But I leave it free to every willing mind to follow which opinion he will.
But that is farre more harde whyche is obiected concernynge Pinhas, 1namelye that hee remayned on lyue euen to the tyme of the warres of the ⟨image 244⟩Beniamites. Whiche if it be so, then muste he be at that time .300. yeares of age Therfore some thinke that it is more commodious to draw backe this historye vnto the beginninge of the Iudges. But I see not what should let, but that god might permit him to liue so longe. For when he had slaine a prince of Israell & a Madianitish woman, when they were committing whoredome, god graunted him not onely to succede his father in the priesthode, but also gaue him very long to liue.2 But vndoubtedly I chiefely allow the order and course of the historye, from which vnlesse great necessity vrge, I will not depart. And in this sentence I follow the iudgement of Dauid Kimhi, whose authority in expounding of the texte I thinke is not to bee contemned. Yea and all the Hebrewes in a manner agree in this, that Pinhas liued a very long time, and there are some whiche produce his age euen vnto the time of Elias the Prophete. Vnto whome I doo not agree, bicause no necessity compelleth me thervnto. Howbeit as cōcerning this thinge I will not much striue: But I leaue it free to euery willing mind to follow which opinion he will.
