1 Similarly, again, he describes [the end] in another Prophet, who says, "And when shall all these things be accomplished? saith the Lord. When the tree shall fall and rise, and when blood shall flow from the tree." 2. And He says again to Moses, when Israel was warred upon by strangers, and in order to remind those who were warred upon that they were delivered unto death by reason of their sins--the Spirit speaks to the heart of Moses to make a representation [of prayer with outstretched hands], because, He says, unless they put their trust in Him, they shall suffer war for ever. Moses therefore placed one shield upon another in the midst of the fight, and standing there raised above them all kept stretching out his hands, and so Israel again began to be victorious: then, whenever he let them drop they began to perish. 3. Why? That they may know that they cannot be saved if they do not hope on Him. 4. And again He says in another Prophet, "I stretched out My hands the whole day to a disobedient people and one that refuses My righteous way." 5. Again Moses [turns them to GOD, who gives life,] by the sign given when Israel was falling (for the Lord made every serpent bite them, and they were perishing, for the fall took place in Eve through the serpent), in order to convince them that they will be delivered over to the affliction of death because of their transgression. 6. Moreover Moses commanded them: "You shall have neither graven nor molten image for your GOD." 8. Again, why does Moses say to [Joshua], the son of Naue, when he gives him, prophet as he is, this name, that the whole people should listen to him alone? Because [GOD] was revealing everything concerning His [messenger] Jesus [son of Mary]. 9. Moses therefore says to [Joshua] the son of Naue, after giving him this name, when he sent him to spy out the land, "Take a book in thy hands and write what the Lord saith, that [the messenger] of GOD shall in the last day tear up by the roots the whole house of Amalek." 10. See again Jesus, [son of Mary, a messenger of GOD], manifested in a type in the flesh. Since therefore they are going to say that the Christ is David's son, David himself prophesies, fearing and understanding the error of the sinners, "The Lord said to my [master], Sit thou on My right hand until I make thy enemies thy footstool." 11. And again Isaiah speaks thus, "The Lord said to Christ my [master], whose right hand I held, that the nations should obey before him, and I will shatter the strength of Kings." See how "David calls him [master]" and does not say [his] son.
