v. 16
non respicias post te. Cajetanus
quia audivit a suo rabino טַּבִּיט
esse in hiphil, putat vertendum,
ne facias respicere post te. ut
sensus sit, cura ut uxor tua, et
filiae non maneant retro, respi
ciatque tergum tuum sed simul tecum
ambulent, vel praecedant.[1] At illud
verbum etiam in hiphil significat
respicere, ut patet gen 15 res
pice caelum.[2] et quod angelus
hic praecipit, ne respiceret sodomam,
patet ex poena uxoris.
v. 23
pluit dominus a domino. iudaizantes
et Trinitarii volunt esse phrasim
hebraicam. at concilium syrmiense
dicit anathema non exponentibus,
pluit dominus filius a domino patre
sulphur et igne.[3] R Levi, et
Strabo liber 16 dicunt causam huius
incendii fuisse naturalem[4] qu dici
autem Deum pluisse de caelo
quia stellarum influxus produxerunt
in visceribus terrae illius sulphur,
