Or my station; that is to say, he attended to his station and his duty after the likeness of soldiers: thus it is taken in Isaiah 21:83 (Malvenda). This is the name of a genus, of which three species follow (Ainsworth, Malvenda). []/precepts are appointed to have respect to the moral law (Ainsworth, Dutch): []/statutes, either the ceremonial law (Dutch, Malvenda), or natural law; for example, thou shalt worship one God (Ibn Ezra in Munster): []/laws, either they look toward the doctrine which we are held to believe (Dutch), or unto ceremonies (Ibn Ezra in Munster). To these elsewhere are added []/judgments, that is, political laws (Dutch).
