Two Scholia on Genesis XXII. 13.^36283628    In the edition of the LXX. published by Card. Caraffe, 1581.

The Syriac and the Hebrew use the word “suspended,”^36293629    κρεμάμενος.  The Hebrew is נאחז, the Syriac ***, both meaning simply “caught.” as more clearly typifying the cross.

The word Sabek^36303630    See note on the fragment just before. some have rendered remission,^36313631    ἀφεσις. others upright,^36323632    ὄρθιος. as if the meaning, agreeing with the popular belief, were—a goat walking erect up to a bush, and there standing erect caught by his horns, so as to be a plain type of the cross.  For this reason it is not translated, because the single Hebrew word signifies in other languages^36333633    Lit. “when translated.” many things.  To those, however, who ask it is proper to give an answer, and to say that Sabek denotes lifted up.^36343634    ἐπηρμένος.
