R. Levi demandeth in this place, how it could be, that none of those should be on live, which had seen the works of God which he had done for Israel, when as from their coming out of Egypt to this present time there were but 67. years passed. He answereth, that there might easily be some found, which had seen those works: yea all men confess that Phinches lived at that time, but there were but few such, and there were not many wise men, and which could rightly and with authority instruct the young of those things,1 which they had seen. And it might be that the scripture spake not these words of all the people, but only of the new Magistrates which succeeded. Neither ought we hereby to understand that all the Israelites were become Idolaters, but the most part of them, and which was more heinous, they openly professed wicked worshippings, when as nevertheless some, although but few, and peradventure secretly, clave unto the true God.
