‏ Romans 15:12

     12. And again, Esaias saith— (Isa 11:10).

      There shall be a—"the"

      root of Jesse—meaning, not "He from whom Jesse sprang," but "He that is sprung from Jesse" (that is, Jesse's son David)—see Re 22:16.

      and he that shall rise, &c.—So the Septuagint in substantial, though not verbal, agreement with the original.
