CHAP. XXXVIII. Ionathan the Chaldee Paraphrast his conceit of Levies chosing to the Priesthood: translated out of his Paraph. on Gen. 32. 24. (Book 38)
AND Iacob was left alone beyond the foord, and an Angel in the likeness of a man strove with him and said, Didst thou not promise to give Tithe of all that thou hadst, and be∣hold thou hast * 1.1 twelve sons, and one daughter, and thou hast not tithed them: Out of hand he sets apart the four first born to their four mothers (for saith the margin, they were holy because of their primogeniture) and then were eight left: He begins again to count from Simeon, and ended in Levi, for the tenth or tithe. Michael answereth and saith, Lord of the World this is thy lot, &c. thus the Chaldee. On whose words, if they were worth Commenting on I could say more.
Notes
* 1.1
He had but eleven sons as yet: but the Hebrew Com∣ment upon the Chaldee Text helps out at this dead list, and saith, that Ra∣hel was great with child of Benjamin, and so he is coun∣ted before he is born.
