283. The fourth generation among whom natural good began to melt away is dealt with in verse 22. Had they been created anew or received instruction in heavenly matters of faith they would have perished, which is the meaning of 'by chance he will put out his hand and also take from the tree of life 1 and live for ever'.

1. literally, of lives
