Note, that when the Scriptures say the Land had 1rest 40. years, and Othniel died; it is not to be understood that the Land was in peace 40 years together under Othniel, but that the Land had rest or peace unto the end of 40. years from the decease of Joshua; Or, until the fortieth year of Othniel's 2government: But in what year before the fortieth the peace began, the Scriptures express not. So understand Judg. 3. v. 30. c. 5. v. 31. &c. 8. v. 28.
