be_v not_o a_o thing_n look_v upon_o by_o the_o jew_n as_o much_o material_a whether_o they_o reckon_v twenty_o four_o or_o twenty_o two_o book_n only_o they_o divide_v they_o after_o another_o

the_o bible_n now_o find_v among_o the_o jew_n deduce_v their_o original_a for_o it_o be_v not_o probable_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o original_a of_o that_o translation_n which_o go_v under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o seventy_o interpreter_n for_o the_o jew_n of_o alexandria_n who_o speak_v greek_n make_v for_o their_o own_o use_n a_o greek_a version_n which_o afterward_o fall_v into_o the_o

to_o the_o authority_n and_o antiquity_n of_o those_o jew_n the_o learned_a be_v at_o variance_n among_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o because_o no_o man_n have_v handle_v that_o point_n more_o

that_o jonathan_n be_v long_o before_o onkelos_n how_o jonathan_n be_v one_o of_o the_o disciple_n of_o hillel_n who_o flourish_v about_o a_o hundred_o year_n before_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o

with_o the_o law_n our_o ancestor_n of_o bless_a memory_n have_v report_v indeed_o that_o he_o intend_v to_o have_v explain_v the_o hagiographer_n but_o that_o a_o voice_n speak_v to_o he_o from_o

of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o hagiographer_n for_o that_o reason_n he_o do_v not_o paraphrase_n upon_o the_o hagiography_n but_o then_o another_o difficulty_n offer_v itself_o why_o he_o do_v not_o
