[Verse 3. Hadadezer] or Hadarezer, 1 Chron. XVIII. 3. The like is in Diphath, and Riphath; in Dodanim, and Rodanim, 1 Chron. I. 6, 7. compared with Gen. X. 3, 4. The Hebrew letters Daleth and Resh are like one another, and often put and used one for another; See Esay XLVI. 15. Jer. II. 20, & ch. XXXI. 40. which shews that the Hebrew letters had the same forme and figure in those dayes, which they have at this day. And the same Observation may be made upon the like change of other letters, wittingly made in Scripture, and much used in proper names; and much more used in the many mistakes of Interpreters and Translators of Scriptures in many other places; and all by reason of the similitude of their Hebrew Characters; as namely of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉: of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉; of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉; of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉; of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 & 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉; All which argue still not the Samaritan Characters, which have none of these mutual Similitudes amongst themselves; but the Hebrew Characters we have now to be the same which were from the Beginning, or in Ezra his time. And farther, The Hebrew Jod is the smallest letter, as it is intimated, Matth. V. 18. whereas the Samaritan Jod is one of the largest.
