two men. De 19:15 Mt 26:59 Mt 26:60 Ac 6:11

sons of Belial. De 13:13 Re 18:22

Thou didst blaspheme.Some, with Parkhurst, would render the original, {bairachta elohim wamailech,} "Thou hast blessed the gods and Molech;" a sense, however, which seems extremely forced, and is not acknowledged by any of the ancient versions, though the LXX. and Vulgate render {bairachta} by [eulogese,] {benedixit,} "blessed." It is no unusual thing for a word to have opposite senses. Ex 22:28 Le 24:15 Mt 26:59-66 Joh 10:33 Ac 6:13
