Ih opposition to this we observe , that as the whole of the rest of the Psalm ( and manifestly both the preceding and following clauses ) is addressed to the great personage who is its subject , it is most unreasonable and unnatural to suppose these few words to be differently addressed , and there is no occasion ,
as we have elsewhere the very expression here employed of God being at the right hand of those whom he favoured , and it is a different phrase from that in the first verse . Ps . xvi . 8 : " Because he ( Jehovah ) is at my right hand , I shall not be moved . " Ps . cix . 31 : " He ( Jehovah ) shall stand at the right hand of the poor , to save him from those that condemn his soul . " It is then evident , that ver . 5 is not addressed to Jehovah , but speaks of him
as supporting that great personage whose exaltation had been described ; and to put this beyond doubt , the fact is , that for Adonai , a great many MSS .

( Continued from p . 44 . ) It was stated in p . 768 of our last volume , that " the fundamental point to be decided before attempting a chronological arrangement of the gospel narratives , is , the duration of our Saviours ministry ; in other words , the interval between his baptism and his crucifixion : was he crucified at the second , the third , or the fourth , Passover after his baptism ? " In the work
which has led us to enter upon the subject , * Mr . Greswell follows what appears to be the common opinion—that our Lord was crucified at the fourth Passover after his baptism ; that his ministry lasted three years and some months . Mr . Benson , in his Chronology of our Saviour ' s Life , "f * adopts the much more reasonable hypothesis , that he was crucified at the third Passover ; that his ' ministry lasted two years and some months .
As considerable evidence has been adduced to support the position that the early Christian writers considered the ministry of Christ as including at most two Passovers ,: } : Mr . Benson has found it necessary to examine this evidence j and though his remarks are not always satisfactory , yet , on the whole , we are disposed with him to lay little stress on their opinion , as such . Il does not appear that they had any other evidence for it , than that which

From some obscurity in the mpde of citation in our first article on this subject , ( p . 764 near the bottom , ) we may have appeared to speak of Mr . Greswell , instead of Mr . Benson , as a " judicious critic . " Of the former , we have sufficiently spoken ; to the latter , even where we differ from his conclusions , we deem the epithet justly due for the character of his investigations .
