33. Issachar asinus fortis.
Issachar, quod interpretatur merces, refertur ad populum gentium, quem Dominus sanguinis sui pretio mercatus est.

33. Issachar the strong ass.
Issachar, which means reward, refers to the people of the nations, who the Lord redeemed by the price of his blood. This Issachar is said to be a strong ass, since at first the gentile people was like a dumb animal and wanton, not living by reason. |
