1And in this History let us consider (as I have before said) that the Levite answereth in the name of Jehovah, that is, of the Lord, because he would signify, that he knew well enough, that the Idol was nothing. I (sayeth he) answer in the name of the Lord. This sentence, which R. Selemoh followeth, seemeth plausible. But to me it seemeth not so. For I think that the young man did it to get authority to his Religion. For which cause he is the more grievously to be accused, for that he contaminated the name of GOD, in applying it unto an Idol. He answereth: your way is in the sight of the Lord, that is, God himself will go out before you, and direct your journey, all things shall go well and prosperous with you, when as God is with you, and directeth ⟨p. 231⟩you. And so did it succeed in very deed. For they luckily spied out all things, the event came to pas as they desired. Wherefore it may well here be demanded why God so prospered these evil works.
1And in this Hystorye let vs consider (as I haue before sayde) that the Leuite aunswereth in the name of Iehouah, that is, of the Lord, bycause he would signifie, that he knewe well ynough, that the Idole was nothyng. I (sayeth he) aunswere in the name of the Lorde. This sentence, which R. Selemoh followeth, seemeth plausible. But to me it seemeth not so. For I thinke that the younge man dyd it to get authoritye to his Religion. For whiche cause he is the more grieuously to be accused, for that he contaminated the name of GOD, in applyeng it vnto an Idole. He aunswereth: your waye is in the sight of the Lorde, that is, God himselfe will go out before you, and direct your iorney, all thinges shall go well and prosperous with you, when as God is with you, and directeth ⟨p. 231⟩you. And so did it succede in very deede. For they luckely spyed out all thynges, the euent came to pas as they desired. Wherfore it may well here be demaunded why God so prospered these euill workes.
