Deuteronomy 6:13

Deuteronomy 6:13

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge · Canne, Browne, Blayney, Scott, and others · Public Domain

fear: , , , , ; ;

and serve him: Our Saviour quotes these words thus: "And him only (αυτω μονω:), shalt thou serve;" from which it would appear, that the word levaddo: was anciently in the Hebrew Text, as it was in the Septuagint, Coptic, Vulgate (illi soli:), and Anglo-Saxon. Dr. Kennicott argues that without the word only, the text would not have conclusive for the purpose for which our Lord advanced it. It is proper, however, to observe, that the word levaddo: is not found in any manuscript yet collated, though retained in the above versions.
