Ed. i.e, a witness.The word witness, or testimony, is not found in the common editions of the Hebrew Bible; and is supplied in Italics by our venerable translators, at least in our modern copies; for in the first edition of this translation, it stands in the text without any note of this kind; but it is found in several of Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS., and also in the Syriac and Arabic. Several also of the early printed editions of the Hebrew Bible have the word {ed,} either in the text or in the margin; and it must be allowed to be necessary to complete the sense. It is very probable that an inscription was put on this altar, signifying the purpose for which it was erected. Thus was this affair most happily terminated. 27; 24:27; 1Ki 18:39; Isa 43:10; Mt 4:10 the Lord is God.Several manuscripts read more emphatically, [yehôvâh ,] [hûw' ] [elôhîym definition 0430|>,] {Yehowah, hoo Elohim,} "Jehovah he is God."Joshua 24:26-27

On this one of the ambassadors turning away, said, "This venerable oak, and all the gods, shall know that you have violated the peace; they shall now hear our complaints; and may they also soon be witnesses, when we revenge with our arms the violation of divine and human rights." It is worthy of remark that Joshua merely set up a pillar under an oak,--the one, perhaps, to protect the other; while the General directed the ambassadors to address the oak, perhaps with an idolatrous feeling that they were addressing one of the gods, who would aid his cause; while the Roman ambassadors caught the feeling, and really invoked the aid of the oak and the gods. 22:27,28,34; Ge 31:44-52; De 4:26; 30:19; 31:19,21,26; 1Sa 7:12it hath.De 32:1; Isa 1:2; Hab 2:11; Lu 19:40deny.Job 31:23; Pr 30:9; Mt 10:33; 2Ti 2:12,13; Tit 1:16; Re 3:8Isaiah 55:13
