The 2300 Days.

By Geo. C. Cochran

IN REVIEW, Vol. xxviii, No. 25, is an allusion to the “Septuagint Translation and the 2300 days.” The objectors to this numeral can only allege in defense of 2400 and 2200, the reading of a few manuscripts found by Wolff the missionary among the Jews of Ispahan and Bokhara, reading 2400 (without doubt copyists errors), and the reputed reading of the Vatican manuscript which in reality reads 2300, but by a typographical error in the Vatican edition, taken from the manuscript is made to read 2400. This the Chisian edition of Daniel proves, and the most competent judges assert that there is not a manuscript extant in Hebrew or Greek which sanctions the reading of 2400 or 2200.
