5.

And he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth,
And with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins,

And faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

6.

And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb,

And the leopard shall lie down with the kid;

And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little child shall lead them.

7.

And the cow and the bear shall feed together;1

12.

Together their young ones shall lie down :

And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp,
And the weaned child shall put his hand on the basilisk's

den.

They shall not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain :
For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah,
As the waters cover the sea.

And it shall come to pass in that day,

That the root of Jesse, which standeth for an ensign of

the peoples,

Unto him shall the nations seek;

And his resting place shall be glorious.

II.--xi. 11 to xii. 6, subdivided into 6 + 6.

And it shall come to pass in that day,

That Jehovah shall set His hand again the second time
To recover the remnant of His people,

Which shall remain, from Assyria, and from Egypt,

And from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam,

And from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands

of the sea.

And He shall set up an ensign for the nations,

And shall assemble the outcasts of Israel,

And gather together the dispersed of Judah
From the four corners of the earth.

1 The Revisers still retain the meaningless rendering of the Authorized Version, in forgetfulness of the rule that a word is often to be supplied in Hebrew poetry from a parallel line to complete the other; in the present instance, (together), which

the rhythm shows to belong to the second line.

13.

The envy also of Ephraim shall depart,

14.

15.

16.

And they that vex Judah shall be cut off:
Ephraim shall not envy Judah,

And Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

And they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines on the west;

Together shall they spoil the children of the east:

They shall put forth their hand upon Edom and Moab;
And the children of Ammon shall obey them.

And Jehovah shall utterly destroy the tongue of the
Egyptian sea;

And with His scorching wind shall He shake His hand
over the River,

And shall smite it into seven streams,

And cause them to march over dry-shod.

And there shall be an highway for the remnant of His people,

Which shall remain from Assyria:

Like as there was for Israel

In the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

XII. 1. And thou shalt say in that day,

2.

3.

I will thank Thee, O Jehovah; for Thou wast angry

with me:

Let Thine anger turn away, and comfort Thou me.
Behold, God is my salvation ;

I will trust, and will not be afraid :

For "JAH JEHOVAH is my strength and song ;

And He is become my salvation" (Exod. xv. 2).

And ye shall draw water with joy out of the wells of salvation.

4. And ye shall say in that day,

5.

Give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon His name,

Declare His doings among the peoples,

Make mention that His name is exalted.

Sing unto Jehovah; for He hath done excellent

things.

Let this be known in all the earth.

6.

Cry aloud and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion:

For great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of

thee.

I cannot refrain here from drawing attention to a most remarkable discovery made by my friend, the late Dean Burgon, which he communicated in two papers to the Guardian, the first dated 5th January, and the second 12th January, 1887. I wrote to him immediately to say that I hoped he would put his discovery in a more permanent form before the public, as it had an importance immeasurably greater than he seemed aware of; as not merely proving his point against the Bishop of Carlisle, the Divine origin of the "Week of Seven Days," but demonstratively proving the Divine origin of the entire narrative of the Deluge, and refuting the most plausible of the objections that have been adduced against the truth and genuineness of the Pentateuchal legends, as they have been styled. The objections against the Deluge narrative have been paraded as furnishing demonstrative evidence of its absurdity and inconsistency. It has been represented as made up of two independent and contradictory accounts--an Elohistic and a Jehovistic document; the first of which represents the flood to have lasted fifty-four days, and the other one hundred and fifty. Dr. Burgon, in a Calendar of the Deluge, shows that all the important events,-Noah's entering and leaving the ark, the commencement and abatement of the flood of waters, the resting of the ark on the mountains of Ararat, the various sendings out of the birds, &c.— nine events in all-took place on one and the same day of the week, which could have been effected by Divine appointment alone; and that the time Noah was in the ark amounted exactly to 365 days.
