BEARE: EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWS IN P~~ 385
the rest of his language would seem to support the view that he
regards the Law as precisely an E ~ K in ~ Vthe Platonic sense.
The least that can be said is that the new reading is possible,
and that it bears a meaning quite in accord with the writer's
general attitude towards the Law. If it be accepted, we would
be left with a parallelism: "The Law, having a shadow of the
good things to come, or even the image of the real objects . . .;"
and this would stand in a striking double antithesis to the parallel
clauses of 11 1 & ~ r i v 62 ~ i u r i s i X ~ i { o p i v w v 6 ~ 6 u r a u i s ,

about by a mistaken conformity to the construction of rbv . . .
xpqparirovra immediately preceding. But a conditional par-
ticiple, "if we turn away," is more in keeping with the writer's
consistent attitude towards his readers than is the relative
"we who are turning away," as the better-attested text would
have to be rendered. In other passages he has explicitly re-
pudiated any suggestion that his warnings were to be construed
as an accusation against them (6 9 a . ; 10 39). Even without any
textual support such as is now given by P46, M offatt thought well
to render "if we discard him who speaks from heaven."
9. In the following verse, the scribe has written EL q p ~ v q
and the EL has afterwards been deleted. This reading, however,
finds an interesting testimony to its existence in a t least one
other Ms. of the same date, in the rendering of the Sahidic
version, which is given by Mr. Horner," "If he shook the earth
with voice."
