Notes:
(1) In Gal. 3:1, “openly set forth” translates the verb
, lit., “to write
before,” as of the OT, Rom. 15:4 (cf. Jude 4), and of a previous letter, Eph. 3:3. In Gal.
3:1, however, “it is probably used in another sense, unexampled in the Scriptures but not
uncommon in the language of the day, = ‘proclaimed,’ ‘placarded,’ as a magistrate
proclaimed the fact that an execution had been carried out, placarding his proclamation in
a public place. The Apostle carries on his metaphor of the ‘evil eye;’ as a preventive of
such mischief it was common to post up charms on the walls of houses, a glance at which
was supposed to counteract any evil influence to which a person may have been
subjected. ‘Notwithstanding,’ he says, in effect, ‘that the fact that Christ had been
crucified was placarded before your very eyes in our preaching, you have allowed
yourselves to be … fascinated by the enemies of the Cross of Christ, when you had only
to look at Him to escape their malignant influence;’ cf. the interesting and instructive
parallel in Num. 21:9.”* (2) In some mss. in Matt. 6:4, 6, 18, the phrase
,
lit., “in the manifest,” is found (
KJV
, “openly”); see the

“openly” in Acts 10:40,

, the dative case of the
adjective
