1670. That 'in the fourteenth year' means the first temptation becomes clear from the meaning of 'fourteen' or the end of the second week, dealt with in 728, where a period of seven days or one week means the onset of temptation. A period of fourteen days or two weeks has the same meaning. Here the year is called 'the fourteenth' because it looks back to the preceding twelve referred to in the previous verse, which mean, as stated, the period of childhood.
