8578.“带着以色列的几个长老”表在首要真理的帮助下。这从“以色列的长老”的含义清楚可知，“以色列的长老”是指与良善和真理一致的智慧和聪明的首要事物（参看6524，6525，6890，7912节），因而是指首要真理，因为这些真理属于聪明和智慧。
Potts(1905-1910) 8578
8578. And take with thee of the elders of Israel. That this signifies from primary truths, is evident from the signification of "the elders of Israel," as being the primary things of wisdom and intelligence which are in agreement with good and with truth (see n. 6524, 6525, 6890, 7912), thus primary truths, for these belong to intelligence and wisdom.
Elliott(1983-1999) 8578
8578. 'And take with you some of the elders oh Israel' means with the help of leading truths. This is clear from the meaning of 'the elders of Israel' as the leading characteristics of wisdom and intelligence that accord with good and with truth, dealt with in 6524, 6525, 6890, 7912, thus leading truths since these belong to intelligence and wisdom.
Latin(1748-1756) 8578
8578. `Et accipe cum te de senioribus Israelis': quod significet ex primariis veris, constat ex significatione `seniorum Israelis' quod sint primaria sapientiae et intelligentiae, quae concordant cum bono et cum vero, de qua n. (x)6524, 6525, 6890, 7912, ita primaria vera, nam haec sunt intelligentiae et sapientiae.
