It is the fame word that is here tranflated,and .Aaron held his peace, that is, he was flayed from further vexing or trou- bling of himtelf or being difquieted ; whereas his Heart was in a thong violent motion o Now glees fpeech did flop him, and gave a flop to his Heart to make it nand flit in a wonderful manner, As theSun, when 70pua fpake to it tonand flit.
