1 Samuel 26

I find some of my errors. Feel free to tell me others I have missed if you can find where to start.

This passage is the second incident showing the character of David and his respect for the anointed of Yahweh. In verse 19, I have used a gloss from Charles Williams Descent of the Dove for ספח. Here are the glosses I have used so far for this stem: accidental plant (4), co-inhere (2) e.g. Isaiah 14:1, 1 Samuel 2:36, co-inherence (1), deform (3), lesion (7), long veil (2).

Its most common gloss is lesion or deform. It is also accidental planting, those gifts of the prior year that sprout in the garden, like the cilantro sprouting from the coriander seed on the deck today. One can almost see that connection. But how can a word glossed as deformation also be glossed here as abide KJV (which I would use for כול) / share JB (חלק)? Same stem, many senses. One issue for me will be finding these things again when I finish the first pass and considering what stems with multiple senses are acceptable. It is possible that one simply needs to find a plausible amendment to the text so that the stem in context makes some sense. Or perhaps it is a sense we do not know.

The two items that David takes from Saul here are the spear and a צפחת of water. Must be a container of some sort. It is the same or a slight variant of the unique description of manna as a thin wafer, and is used also of the water container for Elijah. If I write jar, no one will notice. If I use thin wafer, anyone who reads will be jarred into asking, Oh, what is this? A water biscuit?

Verse 11 gives insight about the relationship perceived in David between Yahweh and his Anointed (=Messiah). Yahweh is present in his Messiah and so one cannot approach with violence and be guiltless. Yahweh is not the direct subject of the verb rendered as far be it. So I have not rendered it as Yahweh forbid. It seems more likely to me that David would be violating his integrity by taking such an action as if it were Yahweh's will.

And Saul was lying down in the trench, and the people were encamped about him.	3e	4B	43 17

Yahweh lives, but children of death you are, that have failed to keep watch over your master, the anointed of Yahweh. And now, see. Where is the spear of the king, and the thin wafer of water that was by his pillows?	3c	4C	39 24

If Yahweh has incited you against me, let him find fragrance in a gift, but if the children of a human, cursed are they in the presence of Yahweh, for they have expelled me today from co-inherence in the inheritance of Yahweh, saying, Go. serve other gods.	3e	4C	17 54

So David went on his own way, and Saul returned to his place.	3e	4C	28 15

Judges 21

I seem to be backing in to so many stories, reading the last chapter first, then filling in the background.

This is the end of a somewhat unpleasant sounding story. I would not want to make this any smoother. It must not be interpreted as prescriptive for good behaviour.

Genesis 46

We are back to the נפשׁ that has come into Egypt. It is always singular in this passage even when it refers to several people. It behaves here as a collective noun. I am aware that individual souls are simply not viable alone. This is so obvious. I have cited before how many people I am dependent on for what I am doing. They number in multi-thousands and they are unaware of my work, but it would not have been possible without them. Who I am is a complex mapping of many. There is no me apart from them. Hence the concept of one body.

Interestingly enough, while working on Judges 21, a somewhat difficult chapter, I note that זכר is almost always singular, but I had often rendered it plural with כל. That will not do, for whereas נפשׁ is collective, זכר is not. So - a bunch more changes. I have thought with difficulty about soul so much, that I may just have to reintroduce it since being does not work in the singular for an English reader. But I will wait. It does have an impact on Psalm 107.

Verse 20 is a fascinating example of a place where the atnah is in an awkward place.

The dialogue in verses 32-34 gives a contradictory instruction. Joseph appears to have instructed Jacob to dissimulate about his occupation. The kin Joseph takes to see Pharaoh fail to do this, as we have already read.

1 Chronicles 29

Verse 20 indicates worship (שׁתח). The objects of worship are Yahweh and the king. I.e. David. JB does not soften this by saying they were on their knees(!) and they paid homage. Yahweh and David are here put on equal grammatical footing with respect to a fundamental religious attitude. (They don't sacrifice to David though.)

The smoothness of the reception of Solomon as king does not sit well with my memory of 1 Kings 1 and 2 in which Solomon consolidates his reign with fratricide. A quick glance at 1 Kings 1 reveals very little overlap with this chapter particularly the act of submission noted in verse 24.

Note - no rest in verse 6. I have my usual trouble with prepositions. על for instance - here are my choices that I have used. about (58) above (47) after (9) against (310) along (1) as (1) as above (2) as for (1) as with (2) at (71) away from (15) based on (1) before (3) beside (5) by (122) concerning (112) for (115) for in (1) for over (1) from (132) from above (2) from off (29) from over (25) from upon (3) in (165) into (20) of (6) on (1,123) onto (28) out of (5) over (1,301) over above (1) per (6) since (2) though (2) through (1) to (280) toward (3) unto (4) untranslated (218) up against (1) up to (1) upon (164) with (37) within (2)

 What would you do with this preposition and the image of time in verse 30? It seems to me that there is no definitive 'meaning' in a tongue for a preposition. There are a cloud of meanings leaning in various directions depending on the other words in the sentence.  For this one - ayin-lamed, over, and on predominate. Against is somewhat common. (This overlaps with other pre-clitic prepositions, ב and ל.)

Isaiah 66

This is our completion of the third book of Isaiah. The remaining 13 chapters are 23-30 and 43, 44, 46, 47, 48.

This chapter gave me pain. I struggled with my choices of gloss. I refused to invent another gloss for זיז. The language is as wild as necessary.

Part of verse 18 (their deeds and their devices) seems to belong in verse 17.

Verse 24, it is somewhat frequent to read ב as against, but I have read it here as in, its most common gloss. Yahweh is escaping from himself via creation. No avoiding the problem of evil.

Isaiah 66		Fn		Min	Max	Syll
כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם כִּסְאִ֔י וְהָאָ֖רֶץ הֲדֹ֣ם רַגְלָ֑י אֵי־זֶ֥ה בַ֙יִת֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תִּבְנוּ־לִ֔י וְאֵי־זֶ֥ה מָק֖וֹם מְנוּחָתִֽי	1	C	Thus says Yahweh, The heavens my throne, and the earth my footstool, where is this house that you will build for me, and where is this place of my rest?	3e	4C	18 18
וְאֶת־כָּל־אֵ֙לֶּה֙ יָדִ֣י עָשָׂ֔תָה וַיִּהְי֥וּ כָל־אֵ֖לֶּה נְאֻם־יְהוָ֑ה וְאֶל־זֶ֣ה אַבִּ֔יט אֶל־עָנִי֙ וּנְכֵה־ר֔וּחַ וְחָרֵ֖ד עַל־דְּבָרִֽי	2		And all these my hands have made, and all these have been. An oracle of Yahweh. But to this I will take note, to one who is poor and a stricken spirit, and apprehensive over my word.	3e	4B	20 19

Moreover they themselves have chosen their ways, and in their detestable things, their integrity delights.	3e	4C	34 20
גַּם־אֲנִ֞י אֶבְחַ֣ר בְּתַעֲלֻלֵיהֶ֗ם וּמְגֽוּרֹתָם֙ אָבִ֣יא לָהֶ֔ם יַ֤עַן קָרָ֙אתִי֙ וְאֵ֣ין עוֹנֶ֔ה דִּבַּ֖רְתִּי וְלֹ֣א שָׁמֵ֑עוּ וַיַּעֲשׂ֤וּ הָרַע֙ בְּעֵינַ֔י וּבַאֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־חָפַ֖צְתִּי בָּחָֽרוּ ס	4		Even I, I choose in their wantonness, and their terrors I will bring to them, in that I called and there was none to answer, I have spoken and they did not hear. And they do evil in my eyes, and what I had no delight in, they chose.	3e	4C	36 20
שִׁמְעוּ֙ דְּבַר־יְהוָ֔ה הַחֲרֵדִ֖ים אֶל־דְּבָר֑וֹ אָמְרוּ֩ אֲחֵיכֶ֨ם שֹׂנְאֵיכֶ֜ם מְנַדֵּיכֶ֗ם לְמַ֤עַן שְׁמִי֙ יִכְבַּ֣ד יְהוָ֔ה וְנִרְאֶ֥ה בְשִׂמְחַתְכֶ֖ם וְהֵ֥ם יֵבֹֽשׁוּ	5		Hear the word of Yahweh, you who are apprehensive at his word, Your kin who hated you, said, segregating you for the sake of my name, Let Yahweh be glorified. But he will appear in your gladness, and they will be ashamed.	3e	4C	14 33
ק֤וֹל שָׁאוֹן֙ מֵעִ֔יר ק֖וֹל מֵֽהֵיכָ֑ל ק֣וֹל יְהוָ֔ה מְשַׁלֵּ֥ם גְּמ֖וּל לְאֹיְבָֽיו	6	C	A voice of noise from a city, a voice from a temple, is the voice of Yahweh paying a reward to his enemies.	3e	4C	9 11
בְּטֶ֥רֶם תָּחִ֖יל יָלָ֑דָה בְּטֶ֨רֶם יָב֥וֹא חֵ֛בֶל לָ֖הּ וְהִמְלִ֥יטָה זָכָֽר	7		Before she writhed, she gave birth. Before pangs came to her, a male escaped.	3d	4A	8 14

Who sees such as these? Will earth be brought to birth in one day, or a nation be born in one pulse? But she writhed, and Zion also has begotten her children?	3d	4C	29 11
הַאֲנִ֥י אַשְׁבִּ֛יר וְלֹ֥א אוֹלִ֖יד יֹאמַ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה אִם־אֲנִ֧י הַמּוֹלִ֛יד וְעָצַ֖רְתִּי אָמַ֥ר אֱלֹהָֽיִךְ ס	9		I, will I break open and not give birth? says Yahweh. Or I will I bring to birth, and will I contain it? says your God.	3c	4B	13 17
שִׂמְח֧וּ אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלִַ֛ם וְגִ֥ילוּ בָ֖הּ כָּל־אֹהֲבֶ֑יהָ שִׂ֤ישׂוּ אִתָּהּ֙ מָשׂ֔וֹשׂ כָּל־הַמִּֽתְאַבְּלִ֖ים עָלֶֽיהָ	10		Be glad with Jerusalem, and rejoice in her, all who love her. Sing for joy with her, the joy of all who lament over her.	3c	4C	16 14
לְמַ֤עַן תִּֽינְקוּ֙ וּשְׂבַעְתֶּ֔ם מִשֹּׁ֖ד תַּנְחֻמֶ֑יהָ לְמַ֧עַן תָּמֹ֛צּוּ וְהִתְעַנַּגְתֶּ֖ם מִזִּ֥יז כְּבוֹדָֽהּ ס	11		So that you may suckle and be satisfied from the breasts of her consolations, so that you may milk and delight exquisitely from the wild creature of her glory.	3c	4C	14 17
כִּֽי־כֹ֣ה ׀ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה הִנְנִ֣י נֹטֶֽה־אֵ֠לֶיהָ כְּנָהָ֨ר שָׁל֜וֹם וּכְנַ֧חַל שׁוֹטֵ֛ף כְּב֥וֹד גּוֹיִ֖ם וִֽינַקְתֶּ֑ם עַל־צַד֙ תִּנָּשֵׂ֔אוּ וְעַל־בִּרְכַּ֖יִם תְּשָׁעֳשָֽׁעוּ	12		Because thus says Yahweh, Note me well stretching out to her peace like a river, and like a wadi, an overflowing of the glory of nations, and you will suckle. By a side you will be lifted up, and on knees you will be be dandled.	3c	4B	30 15
כְּאִ֕ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֥ר אִמּ֖וֹ תְּנַחֲמֶ֑נּוּ כֵּ֤ן אָֽנֹכִי֙ אֲנַ֣חֶמְכֶ֔ם וּבִירֽוּשָׁלִַ֖ם תְּנֻחָֽמוּ	13		As someone whom his mother comforts, so I myself will comfort you, and in Jerusalem you will be comforted.	3e	4C	11 17
וּרְאִיתֶם֙ וְשָׂ֣שׂ לִבְּכֶ֔ם וְעַצְמוֹתֵיכֶ֖ם כַּדֶּ֣שֶׁא תִפְרַ֑חְנָה וְנוֹדְעָ֤ה יַד־יְהוָה֙ אֶת־עֲבָדָ֔יו וְזָעַ֖ם אֶת־אֹיְבָֽיו	14		And you will see and your heart will sing for joy, and your bones like verdant herbs will flourish, and the hand of Yahweh will be known with his servants, and indignation with his enemies.	3e	4C	18 16
כִּֽי־הִנֵּ֤ה יְהוָה֙ בָּאֵ֣שׁ יָב֔וֹא וְכַסּוּפָ֖ה מַרְכְּבֹתָ֑יו לְהָשִׁ֤יב בְּחֵמָה֙ אַפּ֔וֹ וְגַעֲרָת֖וֹ בְּלַהֲבֵי־אֵֽשׁ	15		For behold Yahweh in fire comes, and like a storm-wind, his chariots, to restore in heat his anger, and his rebuke in flames of fire.	3e	4C	16 18
כִּ֤י בָאֵשׁ֙ יְהוָ֣ה נִשְׁפָּ֔ט וּבְחַרְבּ֖וֹ אֶת־כָּל־בָּשָׂ֑ר וְרַבּ֖וּ חַֽלְלֵ֥י יְהוָֽה	16	C	For in the fire, Yahweh judges, and with his sword, all flesh. And multiplied are the profaned of Yahweh.	3e	4C	14 7
