7:23, 24 I say Yoboku, Yoboku, but I do not mean merely two or three of them. I wish to have at least 50 to 60 of them. I also wish to have it so this number between 50 to 60 is to never decrease and stop but to continue on for endless generations. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 117 二三、二四、よふぼく・よふぼくと言うが、それは二人三人僅かなことではない。少なくとも五、六十人の人数がほしいんのである。然してこの五、六十人の人数はいついつまでも減らずに、末代まで続いて切れないようにしたいのである。 |
