- seest the shadow:
- Doubdan states, that in some parts of the Holy Land there are many detached rocks scattered up and down, some growing out of the ground, and others fragments broken off from rocky precipices, the shadow of which, it appears, Josephus thought might be most naturally imagined to look like troops of men at a distance, rather than that of the mountains; for he represents Zebul as saying to Gaal, that he mistook the shadow of the rocks for men. "The morningª is comeª° unto¹ thee, O thou that dwellestª° in the land:ª the timeª is come,ª°°° the dayª of troubleª [is] near,ª and not¹ the sounding againª of the mountains.ª" {Ezk 7:7} + "Andª he looked up,ª° and said,ª°² I seeª° menª asª²° trees,ª walking.ª°" {Mrk 8:24}
