The textual reading is ka‰ri, "as a lion my hands and feet;" but several MSS., read k‚roo, and others karoo in the margin, which affords the reading adopted by our translators. So the LXX. [oryxan cheiras mou kai podas] so also the Vulgate, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic; and as all the Evangelists so quote the passage, and apply it to the crucifixion of Christ, there seems scarcely the shadow of a doubt that this is the genuine reading; especially when it is considered, that the other contains no sense at all. The whole difference lies between [v‚v] wav and [yÙwd] yood, which might easily be mistaken for each other.
