Eaton - the main Hebrew tradition
Hi Folks,
A little sidenote, a puzzle solved. http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...8&postcount=27 Psalm 12:7 - Commentaries J. H. Eaton - Torch Bible Commentaries (1967) "...but we may rather follow the main Hebrew tradition: "Thou O Lord shalt keep them (i.e. watch over the words to fulfill them, Jer. 1:12)..." Jeremiah 1:12 Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it. The question was how John H. Eaton referenced the "main Hebrew tradition" if Rashi and Kimchi had both not applied keep to words. With Ibn Ezra taking the words side. Now we have the answer. Rashi had been misrepresented and in Psalm 12:7a does apply 'keep' to words, against most of the modernist weak interpretations. (And we will try to track down the fulness of Kimchi's interpretation.) Shalom, Steven |
