8587.“他给那地方起名叫玛撒”表试探状态的性质。这从“名”和“起名”、“地方”的含义清楚可知：“名”和“起名”是指性质（参看144，145，1754，1896，2009，2628，2724，3006，3421，6674，6887节）；“地方”是指状态（2625，2837，3356，3387，4321，4882，5606，7381节）。之所以表示试探状态的性质，是因为所论述的主题是试探。试探状态的性质由“玛撒”来表示。此外，在原文，“玛撒”表示试探。其性质将在下文予以描述。

8587. And he called the name of the place Massah. That this signifies the quality of the state of the temptation, is evident from the signification of "name" and of "calling by name," as being the quality (see n. 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009, 2628, 2724, 3006, 3421, 6674, 6887); and from the signification of "the place," as being the state (n. 2625, 2837, 3356, 3387, 4321, 4882, 5606, 7381). That the quality of the state of the temptation is meant, is because temptation is the subject treated of; the quality of the state of it is signified by "Massah." Moreover in the original tongue "Massah" means "temptation." Its quality will be described in what now follows.

8587. 'And he called the name of the place Massah' means the essential nature of the state of the temptation. This is clear from the meaning of 'name' and 'calling the name' as the essential nature, dealt with in 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009, 2628, 2724, 3006, 3421, 6674, 6887; and from the meaning of 'the place' as the state, dealt with in 2625, 2837, 3356, 3387, 4321, 4882, 5605, 7381. The reason why the essential nature of the state of the temptation is meant is that the temptation is the subject. The essential nature of its state is meant by 'Massah'; also Massah in the original language means temptation. The essential nature of it will be stated in what follows next.
Latin(1748-1756) 8587
8587. `Et vocavit nomen loci Massah': quod significet quale status tentationis, constat ex significatione `nominis' et `vocare nomen' quod sit quale, de qua n. 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009, 2628, 2724, 3006, 3421, 6674, 6887, et ex significatione `loci' quod sit status, de qua n. 2625, 2837, 3356, 3387, 4321, 4882, (x)5605, 7381; quod (x) sit quale status tentationis, est quia de tentatione agitur; ejus status quale significatur per `Massah'; `Massah' etiam in lingua originali significat tentationem; de quali ejus {1}in nunc sequentibus dicetur. @1 ulterius in$
