Proverbs 28

Four chapters left of poetry after this one. The words here are continually perplexing. The perplexity is made worse because of my rigid concordance rules. Unless the language changed between writing these and other sections of Scripture, (and it might well have), דל is weak, not poor. Yes it is used in contrast to rich here, but...  the weak may be poor but may also be rich oligarchs or middle class.

I have to see what it says before I try to determine what it means (if anything). I do not translate for meaning, but for pattern and usage. Meaning is a very dangerous game. One tends, as I have said before, to impose one's own bias onto meaning, explanation, and understanding. Those three words indicate power over or control of rather than hearing or observation. I do not have such power or control. I have limited technical control given the hordes of fellow earthlings who have created this electronic platform for me. But this platform is dependent on human ingenuity and continuity and cooperation. It is not guaranteed. (And as far as the tongue itself is concerned, I have inherited it from a similar myriad of ancestors.)

Perhaps better (another word I am wary of) than meaning, is application. How does this pithy saying apply? How might it apply?

My current domain of Poor

אביון need(1), needy(50), the-many needy(3)
אמל enfeebled(7), feeble(3)
דל weak(37), weakness(1)
דלל brought low(8)
חלכה hapless(3)
חרג no longer ease(1)
יתום orphan(24), orphans'(1), orphans(8)
כפן penury(2)
סבל bear burden(1), bearing burdens(1), bears burden(1), burden carries(1), burden(6), burdened(1), burdens(2)
סכן cherish(4), cherished(4), custom(2), destitute(5), meagerness(2)
עני impoverished(5), impoverishment(4), near poverty(1), o poor(1), out poverty(1), poor(53), poverty(16),
רוד refugee(1), restless(3), restlessness(2)
רושׁ want(21) רזה emaciate(1), lean(1), leanness(2)

Equally, if I used a generic him/his/he, my life would be easier. But that would be a legal move and would often exclude some readers in these days. You will note that some of my readings are completely opposite in meaning to the traditional. Note verse 17 has neither atenach nor ole-veyored though it could easily have used a rest. I suspect that irrational fear is common, but maybe the cure is neither to blame nor to encourage what we might call mental illness or shock or PTSD.

Other questions that arose while working on Proverbs 28
I also have trouble with גבר. To date it is as follows, exceopt for names, always a reference to valiant or a related English gloss.

גבר Gaber(1), Geber(3), grandly valiant(1), lady valour(1), make prevail(2), makes prevail(1), men valour(1), mistress(1), more valiant(1), o valiant(2), prevail(5), prevailed(7), prevailing(6), prevails(18), queen-mother(1), valiant acts(2), valiant child(1), valiant men(2), valiant ones(7), valiant(75), valour(52)

My coach tells me גבר means a man. But so do a bunch of other stems mean man. Clearly it sometimes refers to women as well since there are feminine uses. So here (including גבר as above) are the words in which man/men occur in my glosses to date. My only compromise is with אישׁ and מת.

אישׁ -one(16), adults(10), another person(1), another's(1), another(1), anyone(31), being each(1), each every(1), each man(3), each person's(1), each person(4), each(251), every person(1), everyone's(2), everyone(34), hero(1), man's(1), man(196), men(63), more person(1), more(1), one's(1), other(1), others(1), person's(2), person(137), personal(3), persons(74), representative(6), rider(1 - conflict with רכב but implied in Psalm 147), soldiers(26), some(2), someone(44), spouses(1 Jeremiah 29), such(6), untranslated(25)
מת male(1), maleness(1), males(1), men(16)

Other stems use it only as part of the gloss
בחר choice(8), choose(37), chose(29), chosen ones(3), chosen(49), deliberated(1), prime(1), young man(1), young men(3), youth prime(1), youths prime(9)
זקן aged(7), ages(1), beard(4), elder(3), elderly(3), elders(94), eldest(1), even beard(1), more aged(1), old age(5), old men(1), old women(1), old(20)
חכם increase shrewdness(1), made wise(1), make wise(1), makes wise(1), making wise(2), making wiser(1), shrewd things(1), shrewd(59), shrewdness(40), wisdom(68), wise men(1), wise(43), wiser(1), wisest(2)
ערץ panic(2), ruthless men(1), ruthless(15), ruthlessness(2)

Male is also זכר in these stems - another unavoidable compromise with my rules.

בן -kin(2), about children(1), ben(1), ben-(12), child(954), children -(1), children's(7), children(1586), concerning children(1), cubs(1), destiny(1), eaglets(1), grandson(2), he-(48), kids(1), little ones(1), male foal(2), o children(3), out children(1), son(203), sons(95), squab(4), untranslated(4)
גדי Gadi(2), Gadite(1), Gadites(5), Gedi(5), male kid(1), young goat(1), young kids(1)
זכר archivist(7), bring remembrance(1), lasting memory(1), make remembered(1), male(24), males(4), memorial(10), memorials(2), memory(6), remember(107), remembered(30), remembers(4), remembrance(17), reminder(1), untranslated(1), yea, remembers(1), zealous(2), zeroing(1), zion remembers(1), zoomed memory(1)

להה male consternation(1)
עבד Abed(1), Abed-(1), another(1), done(1), Ebed(5), enslaved(1), made serve(4), male slave(3), male slaves(3), manservant(8), manservants(2), o servants(1), one's servant(1), servant(279), servants(203), serve(133), served(42), serves(5), service(55), services(1), serving(2), servitude(20), sevants(1), slave(3), slaves(1), staff servants(2), such served(1), though serve(1)

שׁיר sang(3), sing(31), singers female(2), singers male(2), singers(5), song(65), songs(4)

Ezekiel 14

I do not know this book. Somehow it never comes up in the readings I have been exposed to over the last several decades. Ezekiel has the phrase my Lord Yahweh 217 times. Adonai Hashem would get around the prohibition of speaking the Holy Name. 81 of these are in the phrase נאם אדני יהוה, an oracle of my Lord Yahweh. Traditional translations consider נאם as a verb. Because I translated the Psalms first, I saw this word exactly twice in the Psalter (Psalms 36 and 110) at a significant structural point. They are mirror images preceding the last and the first of the four acrostics in Books 1 and 5 respectively. So I render it as oracle rather than a variant of say (אמר). Where Ezekiel has נאם אדני frequently, the phrase נאם יהוה is most common in Jeremiah (168) and Zechariah (20). Putting LORD in caps obscures the differences in style for the different authors.

Word order question: אֶ֚רֶץ כִּ֤י תֶחֱטָא־לִי֙, verse 13 - it's an odd placement of the first word (land) before the relative connector, and without the definite article. And while against is not impossible for ל, it is rare (1 in 200 so far). I wonder if it is an awkward conversation and לי should be read as my or mine, displaced from its object land.

Exodus 6

Never begin a story at the beginning. Having seen the final plague, and having wrestled with the impact of that word שׁלח, to send, we are at the onset of the sequence here. (These are the links to the other chapters in the story 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12).

The key to the analogy is that we are owned by Egypt, and Egypt is instructed to send us out of its land. We do not belong to Egypt. But Egypt will fight tooth and nail to hold us. Even when we are dismissed, expelled, and gone, Egypt will continue to come after what it has lost even to its own destruction. You can say Egypt is 'the world' as long as you remember that the analogy is relative. Egypt is also loved and legitimately. It needs release from itself also. We are Egypt and we are Pharaoh. There is no easy division of ourselves from both sides of the enigma. This comes back to the problem of inclusion/exclusion. As long as we are the arbiters of exclusion or inclusion, we will fail to see our own troubling character. But that we should escape (be expelled, sent away) and begin the process of learning who we are and the nature of the promise, that is good. Yet too, the promise is effected from the beginning. Hence the language of Passover (and Easter). This is neither fatalism nor religion, but a difficult aspect of responsibility and faithfulness. Like death, this story has its role in the bootstrap of humanity.

In the list of names, Gershon doesn't rate an atnach, but Yitshar and Uzziel do. Curious. There are a few of the names that did not come up already defined by comparison with 1 Chronicles. Now there's a study for you. And in case you missed it, the parents of the Moses and the Aaron and the ancestors of the Levites are all noted here, as if to say that Instruction and Priesthood are also part of the bootstrap of escape from the things that enslave us.

It is traditional to translate the body part ערל as uncircumcised. It's not מול so I use the body part as an adjective rather than an English gloss related to circumcise. Again note the inclusio implied by pairs of repeated phrases.

Exodus 12

Another long chapter, and a strange ending for a number of reasons. The reading of בו - I have rigidly rendered as in it. It is like a refrain in the last several verses. There are 365 occurrences of this word and to date I have never rendered it with the preposition of. This says to me that these verses are a different style of speech. The normal way of phrasing of it or from it as a separate word would be ממנו (e.g. in verse 9).

These verses are exclusive and excluding. There is some tension between these and my own biases about exclusion and inclusion. They may well remain unresolved and possibly even unwritten. The set of verses are even self-contradictory. I won't forget them. We will see how initial impressions shape up against the rest of the canon in due course.

... Assuming I live long enough to finish this project - i.e., if the Most high can put up with me. Today the power went out, but fortunately (is there such a thing?) I had decided to barbecue and turning the spit by hand, the meal I prepared for a stranger, an outsider, was not impacted by the power outage. The רוח blew so hard that it blew a picture from its glass frame. It fell and marked the fir floor, and I had to stop and pick up the pieces. What other shoe will drop?

You will note the fearsome character of Yahweh in this passage. You can hear echoes of Easter services taken from this chapter. Notice the division of the chapter by the phrase in this selfsame day. As Herbert notes in his poem, Easter, there is but one and that one ever.
