ASV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

12 G1161 And G1096 when it was G2250 day, G5100 G2453 the Jews G4160 banded G4963 together, G332 and bound G1438 themselves G332 under a curse, G3004 saying that G5315 they would G3383 neither G5315 eat G3383 nor G4095 drink G2193 till G3739 they G615 had killed G3972 Paul.

13 G1161 And G2258 they were G4119 more G5062 than forty G3588 that G4160 made G3778 this G4945 conspiracy.

14 G3748 And they G4334 came G749 to the chief priests G2532 and G4245 the elders, G2036 and said, G332 We have bound G1438 ourselves G3739 under a G331 great curse, G1089 to taste G3367 nothing G2193 until G615 we have killed G3972 Paul.

15 G3568 Now G3767 therefore G5210 do ye G4862 with G4892 the council G1718 signify G4314 to G5506 the chief captain G3704 that G2609 he bring G846 him G2609 down G4314 unto G5209 you, G5613 as though G3195 ye would G1231 judge G846 of his G4012 case G199 more exactly: G1161 and G2249 we, G4253 before G846 he G1448 comes near, G2070 are G2092 ready G337 to slay G846 him.

that.Such execrable vows as these were not unusual among the Jews, who, from their perverted traditions, challenged to themselves a right of punishing without any legal process, those whom they considered transgressors of the law; and in some cases, as in the case of one who had forsaken the law of Moses, they thought they were justified in killing them. They therefore made no scruple of acquainting the chief priests and elders with their conspiracy against the life of Paul, and applying for their connivance and support; who, being chiefly of the sect of the Sadducees, and the apostle's bitterest enemies, were so far from blaming them for it, that they gladly aided and abetted them in this mode of dispatching him, and on its failure they soon afterwards determined upon making a similar attempt. (ch. 25:2, 3.) If these were, in their bad way, conscientious men, they were under no necessity of perishing for hunger, when the providence of God had hindered them from accomplishing their vow; for their vows of abstinence from eating and drinking were as easy to loose as to bind, any of their wise men or Rabbis having power to absolve them, as Dr. Lightfoot has shown from the Talmud.
