Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ...(1S) Both the form and the expression of the verse remind us of Dan. 12, 1: At that time thy people will be detivered, every one who is found written 50 in the book. For the figure (which is derived from the registers of citizens), cf. also Ex. 32, 32; Ps. 69, 28. (19) Alluding to 3, 16, &c.; 1, 15. 4 (20) For the breath or spirit of JIl1'Il, see 30, 28.
