Note 18 — ORIGEN DE PRINCIPIIS.
Frederick Crombie translation
Hos. x. 12. The words in the text are not the rendering of the authorized version, but that of the Septuagint, which has φωτίσατε ἑαυτοῖς φῶς γνώσεως. Where the Masoretic text has וְעֵת (et tempus) Origen evidently read דַּעַת (scientia), the similarity of Vau and Daleth accounting for the error of the transcriber.
