Notes: In a number of languages it is quite appropriate to refer to the writings of a person by simply mentioning the author, but in many languages this cannot be done. Furthermore, in RV CO2 3:15 · LV CO2 3:15 · Read together CO2 3:15 it may be necessary to employ an active expression, so that one must translate ‘whenever people read the laws which God gave through Moses.’ The use of Μωϋσῆς as a reference to the Law of Moses also occurs in the phrase ‘Moses and the prophets’ as a reference to the sacred writings (compare ὁ νόμος καὶ οἱ προφῆται ‘the sacred writings,’ 33.58: νόμος / 33.58: προφήτης).
