47 Before and apart from Christianity, the Samaritan Version reads, "donec veniat Pacificus, et ad ipsum congregabuntur populi." The Targum, "donec veniat Messias, cujus est regnum, et obedient populi." The Septuagint, "donec veniant quae reservata sunt illi" (or "donec veniat cui reservatum est"), "et ipse expectatio gentium."
