Isa. lxiii. 11; (R.V.), Where is He that
brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds (Marg.
shepherd) of His flock? Cyril’s
reading, ἐκ τῆς γῆς
instead of ἐκ τῆς
θαλάσσης is found
in the Alexandrine ms. of the
Septuagint. Athanasius (Ad Serapion, Ep. i.
12) has the same reading and interpretation as Cyril. By
“the shepherds” are probably meant Moses and
Aaron: cf. Ps.
lxxvii. 20:
Who leddest Thy people like sheep by the hand of Moses and
Aaron.
Heb. xiii. 20: Now the God of peace,
that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of
the sheep, &c. The word “great” is added by
the Author of the Epistle to the Hebrews not by Isaiah.
