5

(3).-In the late W. Kelly's " Exposition of the Epistle to the Hebrews " appears the following sentence in a footnote on page 129, " Compare the absurd reading of the excellent Alex. MS. in
Revelation 20:5
5
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. (Revelation 20:5)
