3. γραφέντες εἰς ζωὴν] Vulg. in vita. The Heb. word is a plural,
which many commentators agree in taking as equivalent to an abstract
substantive; Delitzsch compares Dan. xii. 2. The idea is frequent in
both O.T. and N.T.; see Exod. xxxii. 32, Luke x. 20, Phil. iv. 3, Rev.
xvii. 8, &c. LXX. has ζωῆς in I Sam. xxv. 29, ζώντων in Ps. lxix. 28; Vulgate
viventium in both places. 4. ὅτι] Not the particle ABBREV which so often gives rise to a doubt
to the connection, whether it means ‘if,’ ‘when,’ ‘for,’ or ‘that’;
more usually ‘if,’ or ‘when’: Vulg. here εἰ. Cheyne connects this
verse with what follows; but most commentators with the verse
before. τῶν υἱῶν καὶ] An addition on the part of the Lxx. αἷμα] ℵ*, with 21 cursives, including the Lucianic, adds Ἰερουσαλὴμ
in agreement with the Heb. So Aq. Theod. Symm., according
to Q mg.
