And your life shall hang in doubt before you; and you shall fear day and night, and shall have no assurance of your life:
Read Chapter 28
Athanasius the Apostolic
AD 373
Perhaps you have heard of the prophecy of Christ’s death. You ask to learn [from Moses] what is set forth concerning the cross. Not even this is passed over. It is displayed by the holy men with great plainness. For first Moses predicts it, and that even with a loud voice, when he says, “You shall see your Life hanging before your eyes and shall not believe.”
Thy life, being in danger from all sides. The Fathers explain this verse of the behaviour of the Jews towards their Messias, who was crucified before their eyes; and still they will not believe in him, though he is their life, (chap. xxx. 20,) the way, the truth, and the life, John xiv. 6., and i. 4. (St. Leo; St. Augustine, contra Faustus xvi. 22) (Haydock)
