destruction Heb. Heres , or , the sun , Instead of heres "destruction ," which is also the reading of Aquila , Theodotion , and the Syriac , fifteen manuscripts and seven editions have cheres "the sun;" agreeable to Symmachus , the Arabic , and Vulgate; while the Chaldee takes in both readings; and the LXX reads נןכיע בףוהוך , "the city of righteousness ," a name apparently contrived by the party of Onias , to give credit to his temple. As , however , heres in Arabic signifies a lion , Conrad Ikenius is of opinion that the place here mentioned is not Heliopolis , as is commonly supposed , but Leontopolis in the Heliopolitan nome , as it is termed in the letter of Onias to Ptolemy. The whole passage , from this #### Verse to the end , contains a general intimation of the propagation of the knowledge of the true God in Egypt and Syria , under the successors of Alexander , and the early reception of the gospel in the same countries.
