The following is a list of the passages and phrases which are marked by uncial type in the text as taken from the Old Testament (see Intro-duction § 416), together with references to the places from which they are derived. Many of the quotations are composite, being formed from two or more definite passages, or from one passage modified by the introduction of a phrase found in one or more other definite passages. Sometimes also it is difficult to tell from which of several similar passages a phrase was taken, if indeed it was taken from one more than another. In all these cases we have given a plurality of references. On the other hand we have abstained from multiplying references for the purposes of illustration; and have therefore passed over such passages of the Old Testament as neither had an equal claim to notice with the passages actually referred to, nor contributed any supplementary and otherwise unrepresented element to the language of the quotations in the New Testament. But in all these points, no less than in the selection of passages and words for marking by uncial type, it has not been found possible to draw and maintain a clear line of distinction.

The numeration of chapters and verses is that of the ordinary English editions. It has not seemed worth while to add the numeration current in Hebrew editions except in the few cases in which it differs by more than a verse or two.
