Heres, or, the sun, Instead of heres "destruction," which is also the reading of Aquila, Theodotion, and the Syriac, fifteen manuscripts and seven editions have cheres "the sun;" agreeable to Symmachus, the Arabic, and Vulgate; while the Chaldee takes in both readings; and the LXX reads πολις ασεδεκ, "the city of righteousness," a name apparently contrived by the party of Onias, to give credit to his temple. As, however, heres in Arabic signifies a lion, Conrad Ikenius is of opinion that the place here mentioned is not Heliopolis, as is commonly supposed, but Leontopolis in the Heliopolitan nome, as it is termed in the letter of Onias to Ptolemy. The whole passage, from this verse to the end, contains a general intimation of the propagation of the knowledge of the true God in Egypt and Syria, under the successors of Alexander, and the early reception of the gospel in the same countries.ReciprocalPsalm 63:11 - sweareth; Isaiah 65:16 - he that; Jeremiah 43:13 - Bethshemesh; 48:47 - Yet will I bring; 49:6 - General Verse 19Isaiah 66:23; Genesis 12:7, 28:18; Exodus 24:4; Joshua 22:10, 22:26; Zechariah 6:15; Habakkuk 3:1Reciprocal1 Samuel 7:12 - took a stone; Isaiah 19:18 - that day; Hosea 3:4 - an image Verse 20for aIsaiah 55:13; Joshua 4:20, 4:21, 22:27, 22:28, 22:34, 24:26, 24:27 they shallIsaiah 19:4, 20:4, 52:5; Exodus 2:23, 3:7; 2 Kings 13:4, 13:5; Psalm 50:15; James 5:4 he shall sendIsaiah 37:36, 45:21, 45:22; Luke 2:11; Titus 2:13ReciprocalExodus 22:27 - when he crieth; Psalm 12:5 - oppression; 115:14 - Lord; Hosea 3:4 - an image; Obadiah 1:21 - saviours Verse 21Lord shallIsaiah 11:9, 37:20, 55:5; 1 Samuel 17:46; 1 Kings 8:43; Psalm 67:2, 98:2, 98:3; Habakkuk 2:14; John 17:3; Galatians 4:8, 4:9 and shallZephaniah 3:10; Malachi 1:11; John 4:21-24; Romans 15:27, 15:28; 1 Peter 2:5, 2:9 shall vowIsaiah 44:5; Ecclesiastes 5:4; Jonah 1:16ReciprocalGenesis 28:20 - vowed; Psalm 115:14 - Lord; Isaiah 19:18 - that day Verse 22he shall smiteIsaiah 19:1-15; Deuteronomy 32:39; Job 5:18; Hosea 5:15, 6:2; Habakkuk 3:1 they shallIsaiah 6:10, 55:7; Hosea 14:1; Amos 4:6-12; Acts 26:17-20, 28:26, 28:27ReciprocalExodus 3:20 - smite; 8:4 - General; Ezra 8:23 - and he was entreated; Isaiah 10:21 - return; 17:7 - General; Ezekiel 29:13 - At the Verse 23Isaiah 11:16, 35:8-10, 40:3-5; Ephesians 2:18-22, 3:6-8ReciprocalGenesis 25:18 - toward; Deuteronomy 32:43 - Rejoice; Psalm 87:4 - this man; 96:3 - General; Isaiah 11:11 - Egypt; 27:13 - and they; 45:14 - The labour; 60:3 - the Gentiles; Jeremiah 12:16 - built; Micah 7:12 - also; Zechariah 9:7 - he that; 10:10 - out of the; Acts 2:10 - Egypt; 10:11 - and a; 15:17 - the residue; Romans 3:29 - General; Colossians 3:11 - there Verse 24shallIsaiah 6:13, 49:6, 49:22, 65:8, 65:22, 66:12, 66:19-21; Deuteronomy 32:43; Psalm 117:1, 117:2; Zechariah 2:10, 2:11, 8:20-23; Luke 2:32; Romans 10:11-13, 15:9-12, 15:27 a blessingIsaiah 65:8; Genesis 12:2; Ezekiel 34:26; Zechariah 8:13; Galatians 3:14ReciprocalGenesis 18:26 - General; 25:18 - toward; Psalm 24:8 - The Lord strong; Isaiah 14:1 - the strangers; Jeremiah 9:26 - Judah; Ezekiel 16:53 - in the midst; Luke 14:23 - Go; Ephesians 2:14 - both Verse 25the LordIsaiah 61:9, 65:23; Numbers 6:24, 6:27, 24:1; Psalm 67:6, 67:7, 115:15; Ephesians 1:3 BlessedIsaiah 29:23; Psalm 100:3, 138:8; Hosea 2:23; Romans 3:29, 9:24, 9:25; Galatians 6:15; Ephesians 2:10; Philippians 1:6; Colossians 3:10, 3:11; 1 Peter 2:10 and IsraelDeuteronomy 32:9Reciprocal32:43 - Rejoice; Isaiah 14:1 - the strangers; Jeremiah 9:26 - Judah; Ezekiel 16:53 - in the midst; Zechariah 2:11 - many; 8:13 - ye shall; Luke 14:23 - Go; Ephesians 2:14 - both
