Note 70 — VIII. CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA. DIED 220 (?) A.D.
Reading edition
2 Sam. vi., 19. Clement, in common with all the first Christian writers, quotes from the Septuagint version, which differs considerably from the Hebrew. The English translators of the latter, presuming that “flesh” must have formed part of the royal bounty, gratuitously insert that word in the context.
