[TO THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOH.”]

SIR,—It may be further worth noting that the Revised Version writes "[one] mess of meat," at Heb. xii. 16; Authorised Version, "morsel of meat." The Greek word is Spiiirrir, which stands in the Septuagint for Isaac's favourite dish of game (Gen. xxv. 28), just before the story of the red pottage. Of course, " pottage " occurs in the later verses of Gen. xxv. in both Authorised Version and Revised Version.—
