And in many other of the sacred books I found sometimes\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_373\">373</span>more in our copies than in the Hebrew, sometimes less.\r\nI shall adduce a few examples, since it is impossible to give\r\nthem all. Of the book of Esther neither the prayer of Mardochaios\r\nnor that of Esther, both fitted to edify the reader, is\r\nfound in the Hebrew. Neither are the letters;<a id=\"r1084\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f1084\"><sup>[1084]</sup></a> nor the one\r\nwritten to Amman about the rooting up of the Jewish nation,\r\nnor that of Mardochaios in the name of Artaxerxes delivering\r\nthe nation from death. Then in Job, the words from “It\r\nis written, that he shall rise again with those whom the Lord\r\nraises,” to the end, are not in the Hebrew, and so not in\r\nAquila’s edition; while they are found in the Septuagint and\r\nin Theodotion’s version, agreeing with each other at least in\r\nsense. And many other places I found in Job where our\r\ncopies have more than the Hebrew ones, sometimes a little\r\nmore, and sometimes a great deal more: a little more, as when\r\nto the words, “Rising up in the morning, he offered burnt-offerings\r\nfor them according to their number,” they add, “one\r\nheifer for the sin of their soul;” and to the words, “The\r\nangels of God came to present themselves before God, and the\r\ndevil came with them,” “from going to and fro in the earth,\r\nand from walking up and down in it.” Again, after “The\r\nLord gave, the Lord has taken away,” the Hebrew has not,\r\n“It was so, as seemed good to the Lord.” Then our copies\r\nare very much fuller than the Hebrew, when Job’s wife\r\nspeaks to him, from “How long wilt thou hold out? And\r\nhe said, Lo, I wait yet a little while, looking for the hope of\r\nmy salvation,” down to “that I may cease from my troubles,\r\nand my sorrows which compass me.” For they have only\r\nthese words of the woman, “But say a word against God,\r\nand die.”</p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","LETTERS.","A LETTER FROM ORIGEN TO AFRICANUS."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70561-paragraph-362"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"48443c15ca1c7c4d6c1f3f09e79861f117c5316cf56cf89da7bd8b2f7bf95266","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 1 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie"],"edition_year":1869,"explicit_reference_candidates":[],"headings":[],"id":"pg70561-f1084","license_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/license.html","public_import_allowed":false,"record_kind":"original-editor-translator-note","review_required":["work and recension attribution","original-work chronology","Bible reference numbering and citation kind","English edition rights and attribution"],"review_status":"needs_review","rights_evidence":"Project Gutenberg metadata: Public domain in the USA.
