Numbers 23:25

Early Christian Commentary - (A.D. 100 - A.D. 325)

Anf-01 viii.ii.xl Pg 3
Ps. i., Ps. ii.


Anf-03 v.iv.ii.xxi Pg 6
Ps. ii. 3, 1, 2.

And, indeed, if another god were preached by Paul, there could be no doubt about the law, whether it were to be kept or not, because of course it would not belong to the new lord, the enemy2568

2568 Æmulum.

of the law. The very newness and difference of the god would take away not only all question about the old and alien law, but even all mention of it.  But the whole question, as it then stood, was this, that although the God of the law was the same as was preached in Christ, yet there was a disparagement2569

2569 Derogaretur.

of His law. Permanent still, therefore, stood faith in the Creator and in His Christ; manner of life and discipline alone fluctuated.2570

2570 Nutabat.

Some disputed about eating idol sacrifices, others about the veiled dress of women, others again about marriage and divorce, and some even about the hope of the resurrection; but about God no one disputed. Now, if this question also had entered into dispute, surely it would be found in the apostle, and that too as a great and vital point. No doubt, after the time of the apostles, the truth respecting the belief of God suffered corruption, but it is equally certain that during the life of the apostles their teaching on this great article did not suffer at all; so that no other teaching will have the right of being received as apostolic than that which is at the present day proclaimed in the churches of apostolic foundation. You will, however, find no church of apostolic origin2571

2571 Census.

but such as reposes its Christian faith in the Creator.2572

2572 In Creatore christianizet.

But if the churches shall prove to have been corrupt from the beginning, where shall the pure ones be found? Will it be amongst the adversaries of the Creator? Show us, then, one of your churches, tracing its descent from an apostle, and you will have gained the day.2573

2573 Obduxeris. For this sense of the word, see Apol. 1. sub init. “sed obducimur,” etc.

Forasmuch then as it is on all accounts evident that there was from Christ down to Marcion’s time no other God in the rule of sacred truth2574

2574 Sacramenti.

than the Creator, the proof of our argument is sufficiently established, in which we have shown that the god of our heretic first became known by his separation of the gospel and the law.  Our previous position2575

2575 Definito.

is accordingly made good, that no god is to be believed whom any man has devised out of his own conceits; except indeed the man be a prophet,2576

2576 That is, “inspired.”

and then his own conceits would not be concerned in the matter. If Marcion, however, shall be able to lay claim to this inspired character, it will be necessary for it to be shown. There must be no doubt or paltering.2577

2577 Nihil retractare oportebat.

For all heresy is thrust out by this wedge of the truth, that Christ is proved to be the revealer of no God else but the Creator.2578

2578 [Kaye, p. 274.]



Anf-03 v.iv.vi.iii Pg 38
Ps. ii. 1, 2.

in order that thenceforward man might be justified by the liberty of faith, not by servitude to the law,5303

5303


Anf-03 v.iv.v.xlii Pg 10
Ps. ii. 1, 2.

The heathen were Pilate and the Romans; the people were the tribes of Israel; the kings were represented in Herod, and the rulers in the chief priests. When, indeed, He was sent to Herod gratuitously5129

5129 Velut munus. This is a definition, in fact, of the xenium in the verse from Hosea. This ξένιον was the Roman lautia, “a state entertainment to distinguished foreigners in the city.”

by Pilate,5130

Anf-03 v.viii.xx Pg 6
Ps. ii. 1, 2.

He, again, was “led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a sheep before the shearer,” that is, Herod, “is dumb, so He opened not His mouth.”7399

Comp. Ps. ii. 2, 3, with Acts iv. 25–30.

What did the apostles thereupon suffer? You answer:  Every sort of iniquitous persecutions, from men that belonged indeed to that Creator who was the adversary of Him whom they were preaching. Then why does the Creator, if an adversary of Christ, not only predict that the apostles should incur this suffering, but even express His displeasure3407

3407 Exprobrat.

thereat? For He ought neither to predict the course of the other god, whom, as you contend, He knew not, nor to have expressed displeasure at that which He had taken care to bring about. “See how the righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart; and how merciful men are taken away, and no man considereth. For the righteous man has been removed from the evil person.”3408

Anf-03 v.iv.vi.iii Pg 37
Ps. ii. 3.

since the time when “the nations became tumultuous, and the people imagined vain counsels;” when “the kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against His Christ,”5302

5302


Anf-03 v.iv.vi.iv Pg 40
Ps. ii. 3; 2.

All those, therefore, who had been delivered from the yoke of slavery he would earnestly have to obliterate the very mark of slavery—even circumcision, on the authority of the prophet’s prediction. He remembered how that Jeremiah had said, “Circumcise the foreskins of your heart;”5359

Anf-03 v.iv.ii.xxi Pg 6
Ps. ii. 3, 1, 2.
