- OK, so we can look up the Moshe HaDarshan quotes. Thanks, Bill.
-
- But what about the "Oxford Scholars" passage, which Harvey Smith
- said would "once and for all" settle the virgin birth issue?
-
- I'd like to see the source for the passage. I don't see why this
- should be so difficult. If it's in some obscure book, why
- not offer to send photocopies of the page on which this appears
- and the bibliographic information of the book. Please post
- a U.S. Mail address to which we can send stamped, self-addressed
- envelopes to get this information.

- Mystery passage quoted by Harvey Smith (passage reformatted):
-
- HS> "Truth shall spring out of the earth", R. Yoden, saith he, notes upon
- HS> this place, that it is not said, Truth sahll be born, but shall
- HS> spring out; because the generation and the nativity of the Messiah is
- HS> not to be as other creatures in the world, but shall be begot without
- HS> carnal copulation; and therefore no one hath mentioned his father, as
- HS> who must be hid from the knowledge of men til himself shall come and
- HS> reveal him. And upon Genesis: "Ye have said (saith the L-rd), we are
- HS> orphans, bereaved o > ther; such a one shall your redeemer be, whom i
- HS> shall give you, so upon Zechariah "Behold my servant whose name is
- HS> the Branch:" and out of Psalm CX "Thou art a priest after the order of
- HS> Melchi Zedek:" he saith, R. Berachiah delivers the s ame things, and R
- HS> Simeon Ben Yochai upon Genesis more plainly; viz "That the Spirit, by
- HS> the impulse of a mighty power, shall come forth of the womb, though
- HS> shut up, that will become a mighty prince, the King Messiah"
