以赛亚书 19章18节 到 19章18节 背景资料 上一笔 下一笔

     * that day.
     # 19,21; 2:11; Zec 2:11|
     * shall five.
     # 11:11; 27:13; Ps 68:31|
     * speak.
     # Zep 3:9|
     * language.  Heb. lip.
     # Ge 11:1|
     * and swear.
     # 45:23,24; De 10:20; Ne 10:29; Jer 12:16|
     * destruction.  Heb. Heres, or, the sun.
       Instead of {heres,} "destruction," which is also the reading
       of Aquila, Theodotion, and the Syriac, fifteen MSS. and seven
       editions have {cheres,} "the sun;" agreeable to Symmachus, the
       Arabic, and Vulagte; while the Chaldee takes in both readings;
       and the LXX. reads [polis asedek,] "the city
       of righteousness," a name apparently contrived by the party of
       Onias, to give credit to his temple.  As, however, {heres} in
       Arabic signifies a lion, Conrad Ikenius is of opinion that the
       place here mentioned is not Heliopolis, as is commonly
       supposed, but Leontopolis in the Heliopolitan nome, as it is
       termed in the letter of Onias to Ptolemy.  The whole passage,
       from this verse to the end, contains a general intimation of
       the propagation of the knowledge of the true God in Egypt and
       Syria, under the successors of Alexander, and the early
       reception of the gospel in the same countries.
