Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Four Gospels, Vol. 2 of 4: Translated From the Greek, With Preliminary Dissertations, and Notes Critical and Explanatory; With the Author´s Last Corrections As to the first class, it is evident that there is nothing, wherein nations, especially such as are distant from one another in time and place, more frequently differ, than in the measures and coins, which law or custom has established among them. Under coins I shall here include weights; because it was chiefly by weight that money was anciently distinguished. As commonly, in every country, the people have names only for their own, it is often necessary, in the translation of ancient and foreign books, to adopt their peculiar names, and by mentioning in the margin the equivalent in our own money, measures, and weights, to supply the reader with the proper information. This method has accordingly been, often, though not always, taken by the translators of holy writ. Into the common version of the Old Testament, several Oriental, and other foreign, names, have been admitted, which are explained in the margin. Hence we have shekel, ephah, bath, homer, cor, and some others. This, however (for what reason I know not,) has not been attempted in the New Testament.
