تحتفظ هذه الحواشي بجدالات عصرها: بعضها يتحدث بقسوة عن الشعب اليهودي أو عن مسيحيين آخرين. والكنيسة تعلّم اليوم غير ذلك: لا يجوز تحميل الشعب اليهودي مسؤولية موت المسيح (في عصرنا 4؛ التعليم المسيحي 597–598)، والمسيحيون في الجماعات الأخرى إخوتنا وأخواتنا في الرب (إعادة الوحدة 3). وحدة المسيحيين

M. --- Yet God having shewn that he could have forced them to comply, (Tostat.) was pleased to remove the scourge; as if he preferred that imperfect worship rather than to suffer pure idolatry to reign. Genebrard.

Ver. 27. Let him. Heb. Chal. Sept. "them go." Probably more went; but one was of superior dignity. He might have been priest of the golden calves, as none of the priests of Jerusalem had yet been taken. Hence he taught the Cutheans to join the worship of God with that of idols.
Some think that no part of the Scripture was used among them, till the building of the temple by Sanballat, on Mount Garizim: (Le Quien, Antiquite. v. 13.) but this is extremely improbable.
How should he pretend to teach the law without the books of Moses? H. --- The Samaritans have retained the Pentateuch in the Phœnician character, while the Jews have insensibly adopted the Chaldee, during their captivity. On some occasions, these people have boasted of their descent from the patriarchs. Jo.
iv. 12. and 20. But in times of danger, they have confessed their true origin.
Joseph. ix. fin. and xii. 5.

Ver. 28. Bethel. Garizim was not then honoured with the temple, as the Samaritans would pretend. Chron. They wished to join in building that at Jerusalem, under Esdras. C. --- Lord.
Collins would make us believe, that the Samaritans continued "for a long time"
without the Pentateuch, and all "heathens for many ages." But the first supposition "is to me incredible," says Kennicott; and Hottinger himself allows, that the priests did bring back a copy of the law "exactly corresponding with the autograph of Moses." Exert. p. 8. And as for the Samaritans being heathens, Prideaux, whom this infidel writer quotes, (H.) says, "consistently with his Bible, that they continued in that gross idolatry of worshipping other gods in conjunction with the True; which last words are very unfairly omitted." Kennicott, Diss. ii. p. 115. --- This was the true origin and state of this mixture of nations, who were sent to cultivate the lands of Samaria. H.

Ver. 29. Dwelt. This impure service did not deserve a mitigation of the late chastisement. But God often punishes in this world (H.) to manifest his glory, (Jo. ix. 3.) and spares to display his power (C.) and goodness. H. --- He had sufficiently convinced these nations of his dominion over all.

Ver. 31. Hevites, who came from Ava. --- Nebahaz. "Nebo the seeing, or living and possessing."
Nebo was a famous idol of Babylon. --- Tharthac; perhaps Sar, (prince) Sak, or Sesac, (Jer. xxv.
26. and li. 41.) the sun, &c. --- Adramelech, "the magnificent king," and Anamelech, "the king of clemency," may denote the sun and moon; as these were the divinities commonly adored in the East, under various names. The same victims were offered to these as to Moloc and Saturn; whence we may infer, that they were the same idols. S. Jerom translates the work of Eusebius on the Heb. (C.) and places without any disapprobation of his opinion, that Socoth-benoth, &c. were the names of towns, which the people built in Samaria. H.

Lowest. This expression sometimes means the most noble. H. --- But the priests were chosen from the midst of the people, without examination. They employed the priest, whom the king had sent for the worship of the true God, whilst others were appointed to serve the idols. C.

H. --- This involves a sort of contradiction, unless we explain it of the Israelites; thought hey had not been mentioned before. There is a confusion in the original text; and v. 41 seems to require that we should understand it in this manner, as the Cutheans could hardly be blamed for neglecting a thing of which they had before no knowledge. The Israelites are justly blamed for obstinately continuing in their prevarication, even in the midst of their captivity. The Syr. and Arab. translate, "The Israelites have been forced to leave their country, because they have abandoned the Lord; and they have not obeyed his laws, his precepts, and his ordinances, which he gave to," &c.
Many adopt this explanation. Jun. Vatab. &c. C. --- Sept. make these people unite the true and the false worship, as v. 41. "They did according to their judgment. These fear, and do according to their justifications ( dikaiomata) and decision; and according to the law," &c.
