Proverbs 8:22

Verse 22. Possessed. As Christ was with God, equal to him in eternity. John 1. Septuagint “created,” which many of the Fathers explain of the word incarnate, (see Corn. a Lapide. Bossuet) or he hath “placed me,” (Saint Athanasius iii. con. Arian. Euseb.) a pattern of all virtues. The Septuagint generally render kana, “possessed,” as Aquila does here. Calmet.
