    "title": "Elizabeth Carter’s Notes on the Bible",
    "author": "Elizabeth Carter",
    "date": "notes composed before 1806; published posthumously in 1807",
    "summary": "These annotations entered in Carter’s Bible comment on vocabulary, narrative coherence, doctrine, and moral difficulty. Published posthumously and never designed as a continuous book, they preserve traces of religious reading in progress.",
    "learning": "Observe a personal practice of biblical annotation, distinguish original comment from borrowed quotation, and account for posthumous editorial assembly.",
    "long_summary": "Carter cross-references passages, proposes interpretations, and sometimes copies observations from other writers when they appear probable. The material moves from Genesis to New Testament texts without seeking the completeness of a biblical commentary.\n\nAn editor assembled private notes and related pieces after the author’s death. That mediation must remain visible: an annotation may be provisional, a quotation need not be Carter’s own, and printed order does not reproduce a composition plan she designed.",
    "historical_context": "The corpus manifests do not yet establish the precise place and circumstances of composition. The images below document the author’s world or the text’s transmission. They do not claim to show the exact scene of writing.",

        "medicine": "Anatomy and clinical observation advance; variolation and then vaccination appear, but anaesthesia, antisepsis, and microbes are not yet mastered.",
        "transport": "Walking, horses, stagecoaches, barges, and sailing ships. Roads and relays improve, but travel remains slow.",
        "agriculture": "Rotations, animal breeding, drainage, and new foods raise some yields while much labour remains manual.",
        "communication": "Newspapers, books, pamphlets, salons, and post move ideas at a new speed measured in days or weeks.",
        "clothing": "Coats, waistcoats, and breeches dress prosperous men; bodices, skirts, and gowns structure women’s fashion. Working people wear simpler, repeatedly repaired forms."

The LXX translate^ Let us bind the just ^ for he is untract'^ 4. 2* By the branch some understand to be meant our blessed Saviour ; others the remainder of the Jews, after the Bab jr Ionian captivity. In support of the first, see chap. xi. 1 ; Jen xxiii. 5. xxxiii. 15 ; Zee. iii. 8. vi. 12. For the last sense, see chap. v. 7- xliv. 4 5. IS. Rezin, king of Syria, fought against Ahaz, and carried a great number of Jews captive to Damascus, to which this verse probably refers. See Chron. xxviii. 5 17. After their manner^ or in their fold. See Micah ii. 12 6. 10. The LXX translate. The heart of this people is made fat ^ and they have heaid heavily^ &c. And St. Matthew quotes the LXX in this passage This verse might perhaps be translated thus. And yet there shall be a tenth in iV, ofter it is returned, and has been hrovfted : m a teil tree, aiid as an ouk in Shalkchetk, whose support is in them ; so the fioly arm shall be the support thereof Tlidt i% as trees, though their leaves are fallen, or devnuied, Iiave still a support in the root and stem; so, although the Jews are now for their sins reduced to a low cniKlition, the powerful arm of God is their support, and will restore tliem, on their repentance, to their former flourishing state. This seems the general sense of the comparison, whatever be the particular meaning of the several parts Shallechelh was the name of a causeway leading to the temple, which is supposed to have been set with trees. See 1 Chron. xsvi. 16; 2 Chrou. is. 4; Kings x. 5 For the head of H^yria, &c. That is, God has set bounds to the ambition of the Kings of Syria and Israel, and will confine their power to their own territories",

Par le rejeton, certains comprennent notre bienheureux Sauveur ; d’autres, le reste des Juifs après la captivité babylonienne. À l’appui du premier sens, voir chap. xi. 1 ; Jér. xxiii. 5 ; xxxiii. 15 ; Zach. iii. 8 ; vi. 12. Pour le dernier sens, voir chap. v. 7 ; xliv. 4. 5. 13. Retsin, roi de Syrie, combattit Achaz et emmena un grand nombre de Juifs captifs à Damas ; ce verset s’y rapporte probablement. Voir Chron. xxviii. 5. 17. À leur manière, ou dans leur bercail. Voir Michée ii. 12. 6. 10. Les LXX traduisent : Le cœur de ce peuple s’est engraissé, et ils ont entendu pesamment, etc. Et saint Matthieu cite ici les LXX. Ce verset pourrait peut-être être traduit ainsi : Et pourtant il y en aura un dixième, après son retour et son dépouillement ; comme un térébinthe et comme un chêne à Shallecheth, dont le soutien est en eux, ainsi le bras saint en sera le soutien. C’est-à-dire que, de même que les arbres, quoique leurs feuilles soient tombées ou dévorées, trouvent encore un soutien dans leur racine et leur tronc, de même, quoique les Juifs soient maintenant réduits par leurs péchés à une condition humble, le bras puissant de Dieu est leur soutien et les rétablira, s’ils se repentent, dans leur ancien état florissant. Tel semble être le sens général de la comparaison, quel que soit le sens particulier de ses différentes parties. Shallecheth était le nom d’une chaussée conduisant au temple, que l’on suppose avoir été bordée d’arbres. Voir 1 Chron. xxvi. 16 ; 2 Chron. ix. 4 ; Rois x. 5. Car la tête de la Syrie, etc. C’est-à-dire que Dieu a fixé des bornes à l’ambition des rois de Syrie et d’Israël, et qu’il confinera leur pouvoir à leurs propres territoires.",
