馬太福音 2章11節 到 2章11節 上一筆 下一筆 |
{Opening their treasures} (anoixantes tous th(8873)aurous aut(936e)). Here "treasures" means "caskets" from the verb ( ith(886d)i), receptacle for valuables. In the ancient writers it meant "treasury" as in 1Macc. 3:29. So a "storehouse" as in Mt 13:52 . Then it means the things laid up in store, treasure in heaven ( Mt 6:20 ), in Christ ( Col 2:3 ). In their "caskets" the Magi had gold, frankincense, and myrrh, all found at that time in Arabia, though gold was found in Babylon and elsewhere. |
