| Isaiah 43:27
| Thy first father sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
| First father. Adam, (Lyranus) or rather Abraham sinned, by diffidence, (Genesis 15:8.; St. Jerome) or was formerly an idolater, Josue 24:2. (Genebrard, the year of the world 2049) (St. Augustine, City of God 16:12.) (Calmet) (Tirinus) --- Teachers. Literally, "interpreters," (Haydock) Moses and Aaron, Numbers 20:9. (Calmet) --- All the patriarchs and teachers sinned, till Christ, the immaculate lamb, appeared. Adam engaged all in guilt. (Worthington)
