VERS. XII.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.

I am the light of the world.

l 1.1 R, Biba Sangorius saith 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Light is the name of the Messiah. As it is written 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Light dwells with him, Dan. II. 22. we have the same passage in Beresh rabba m 1.2 saving that the Author of these words there, is R. Abba Seron∣gianus.

They were wont to adorn their Rabbins, and Doctors, with swelling and magnificent titles of Lights.

n 1.3 A Tradition. His name is not R. Meir, but Nehorai: Why therefore is he called R. Meir? 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Because he enlightens the eyes, by the traditions of wise men. And yet his name is not Nehorai neither, but R. Nehemiah. Why then is he called R. Nehorai? 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Because he enlightens the eyes, by the traditions of wise men. O blessed Luminaries without light! Be gone ye shades of night, for the Sun of righteous∣ness hath now displayed himself!
