2606. In former times the Old Testament Word used to be called The Law and The Prophets, the Law being used to mean all the historical narratives, which are the five books of Moses and the books of Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings, 1 and the term Prophetical to mean all the prophetical utterances, which are the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, 2 Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. There were also the Psalms of David. The historical sections of the Word are also referred to as 'Moses', and therefore the expression 'Moses and the Prophets' is used in various places instead of the Law and the Prophets, while the Prophetical parts are referred to as 'Elijah'. See the Preface to Genesis 18.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. In the Hebrew Bible Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings are entitled The Former Prophets.

2. In the Hebrew Bible Daniel does not occur among The Latter Prophets but in a section known as The Writings.

4 What the swarming locust has left, the great locust has eaten. What the great locust has left, the grasshopper has eaten. What the grasshopper has left, the caterpillar has eaten.

5 Wake up, you drunkards, and weep! Wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.

6 For a nation has come up on my land, strong, and without number. His teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the fangs of a lioness.

7 He has laid my vine waste, and stripped my fig tree. He has stripped its bark, and thrown it away. Its branches are made white.
