Two Scholia on Genesis XXII. 13. 1
The Syriac and the Hebrew use the word "suspended," 2 as more clearly typifying the cross.
The word Sabek 3 some have rendered remission, 4 others upright, 5 as if the meaning, agreeing with the popular belief, were--a goat walking erect up to a bush, and there standing erect caught by his horns, so as to be a plain type of the cross. For this reason it is not translated, because the single Hebrew word signifies in other languages 6 many things. To those, however, who ask it is proper to give an answer, and to say that Sabek denotes lifted up. 7
