This is rather a formidable list, and the verification of each
reference is no light task, as in one or two passages there is no obvious
Hebrew equivalent, yet we believe it is impossible for any reader not to be
impressed with the solidarity of its witness. Every single reference is for
the translation 'overthrow'; not one is for the translation found in the A.V.
of Ephesians 1:4. Are the words 'somewhat' and 'sometimes' honest
representation of Fact, or do they indicate bias?
