not speak evil of the ruler of thy people." The O.T. Hebrew reads: "Nor curse the ruler
of thy people." The slight difference between the N.T. and the LXX is in the order of the
words: "speak evil", which in the LXX is "evil speak".
Class B.
In this class the quotation agrees with the Hebrew, when it has not been correctly
rendered in the Septuagint. B.s. indicates that the Septuagint may have been partly
followed, and B.d. where it has not been followed at all.
Class B.s.
Luke 22: 37 quotes Isa. 53: 12:--
"And He was numbered with (meta) the transgressors" (N.T.).
"And He was numbered among (en) the transgressors" (LXX).
"And He was numbered with (eth) the transgressors" (Heb.).
The N.T. "with" is a closer rendering of the Hebrew eth than the LXX "among", and
meta agrees more with the idea that the Lord was not actually a transgressor than does the
LXX en, "among".
Class B.d.
Matt. 2: 15
quotes
Hos. 11: 1,
and the three passages exhibit the following
differences:--
"Out of Egypt have I called (ekalesa) my son" (ton huion mou) (N.T.).
"And (kai) out of Egypt did I call (metakalesa) his children" (ta tekna autou) (LXX).
"And (vav) called my son out of Egypt" (Heb.).
The Heb. text is not only supported by the N.T. quotations, but it is confirmed by the
versions of Aquila (ton huion mou), and of Theodotion and Symmachus (huios mou).

This class has thirteen sub-divisions, but to save space we will not repeat all that has
been said of them here: the reader should consult the preceding article for particulars.
Ci.r.--I Pet. 2: 24 quotes Isa. 53: 5:--

Ci.o.--Rom. 10: 5 quotes Lev. 18: 5:--
