1 Samuel 28

בְּעֵ֥ין דּֽוֹר - could be translated as 'in the eye of a generation'. The woman of Endor would be a seer. The word I have rendered as superior, is the word for husband, Baal, בעל. The algorithm keeps translating Saul as the grave and tried bring up as burnt offering. The letter patterns do not differ. The possible double entendre is suggestive along with the Baal language as to the 'lack of control' of superstition and ritual that might be implied. Scholarly article here with nice pictures. [His solution to the sequence of events is not satisfactory to me. What is the problem with the woman remembering her image of Samuel 'in her mind' and recognizing the compromised psyche of Saul? I don't see the problem, and at first glance ותרא does not appear as a form of ירא anywhere. Except maybe verse 5.]

Even power was not there in him, for he had not eaten bread all the day long and all the night long.	3e	4C	25 20
וַתָּב֤וֹא הָֽאִשָּׁה֙ אֶל־שָׁא֔וּל וַתֵּ֖רֶא כִּי־נִבְהַ֣ל מְאֹ֑ד וַתֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלָ֗יו הִנֵּ֨ה שָׁמְעָ֤ה שִׁפְחָֽתְךָ֙ בְּקוֹלֶ֔ךָ וָאָשִׂ֤ים נַפְשִׁי֙ בְּכַפִּ֔י וָֽאֶשְׁמַע֙ אֶת־דְּבָרֶ֔יךָ אֲשֶׁ֥ר דִּבַּ֖רְתָּ אֵלָֽי	21		And the woman came to Saul and she saw that he was much vexed, and she said to him, Behold your handmaid has heard with your voice, and I have put my being in my palm, and I have heard your words that you spoke to me.	3e	4C	17 39

And eat, and there will be power in you when you go on the way.	3c	4C	29 12
וַיְמָאֵ֗ן וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ לֹ֣א אֹכַ֔ל וַיִּפְרְצוּ־ב֤וֹ עֲבָדָיו֙ וְגַם־הָ֣אִשָּׁ֔ה וַיִּשְׁמַ֖ע לְקֹלָ֑ם וַיָּ֙קָם֙ מֵֽהָאָ֔רֶץ וַיֵּ֖שֶׁב אֶל־הַמִּטָּֽה	23		And he would not. And he said, I will not eat. But his servants broke out against him, and also the woman, and he heard their voice. And he arose from the earth and sat on the couch.	3e	4C	27 14
וְלָאִשָּׁ֤ה עֵֽגֶל־מַרְבֵּק֙ בַּבַּ֔יִת וַתְּמַהֵ֖ר וַתִּזְבָּחֵ֑הוּ וַתִּקַּח־קֶ֣מַח וַתָּ֔לָשׁ וַתֹּפֵ֖הוּ מַצּֽוֹת	24		And the woman had a calf in a stall in the house, and she was swift and she sacrificed it, and she took flour and kneaded and baked unleavened bread.	3e	4C	19 14
וַתַּגֵּ֧שׁ לִפְנֵֽי־שָׁא֛וּל וְלִפְנֵ֥י עֲבָדָ֖יו וַיֹּאכֵ֑לוּ וַיָּקֻ֥מוּ וַיֵּלְכ֖וּ בַּלַּ֥יְלָה הַהֽוּא	25		And she came close before Saul and before his servants, and they ate and they arose and they went in that night.	3c	4A	16 12

Leviticus 11

After Deuteronomy 14, we should have expected a set of parallels somewhere to pop up. And here it is in Leviticus 11, more beasts and fish.

Note vulture is in this chapter דאה and in Deuteronomy ראה. You can see how easily these two might be confused by a copyist. Detest them both if you must. Maybe eat tofu instead!

Verse 46 uses נפשׁ for every living thing on the earth. I have resisted allowing put as a gloss for נתן. It would be much less awkward if I allowed it. I use set, put and a bunch of other less common glosses for שים. These very commonly used verbs are more flexible than I have considered. It is possible on final review in a few years that I will loosen the rules I have just tightened a bit.

Deuteronomy 14

With this chapter, we have read the 'beginning' and the 'end' of Deuteronomy. chapters 20-25 remain. The book is at nearly 90% complete. On the one hand I am delighted because Deuteronomy was Peter Craigie's specialty. And this week was the anniversary of his death. I am also pleased that this chapter brings Torah to nearly 60% complete. I am surprised as well. It was not necessarily 'the plan' to complete Torah next after completing the poetry books, and the scrolls which are keys to Torah.

Sometimes I just can't believe how hard this is. How many ways does one have to say, cloven, divided, riven, bisected? How many different roots are needed in a tongue to make this instruction clear? And chewing the cud, ruminating, regurgitating?, is bringing up (עלה) food from the double stomached beast. And naming all these animals.

Let Ithamar minister with a chamois.

What does it tell us about the ancient practices of food production? There must have been a fishing industry and ranching and farming and hunting. I wonder if the genus is boar, or swine, or pig. I have not used the last two glosses yet. Do I need to? So many birds of prey!

1 Samuel 27

Another short chapter. There is work going on behind the scenes though on long chapters.

A full year appears to be just 'days' ימים by itself. Verse 7. This is the only verse I have seen with a rest between the subject and the predicate. (Music here) It's perfectly fine in Hebrew, but is odd in English if you render ויהי as was and try to make it read as a sentence.

I have allowed the gloss of country and countryside for סדה which to date I have rendered only as field.

Hebrews and the Psalms

This article is outstanding.

Joshua 8

This chapter continues the less appealing parts of the canon. I have allowed the name Ai to stand translated as Shambles. We are a shambles. But one has to work very hard to explain away the ban by allegory. The word for scale is the same as used in the story of David and the Philistine. Verse 25 is an example of the inclusive nature of אישׁ, male and female.

Joshua 8		Fn		Min	Max	Syll
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֤ה אֶל־יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ אַל־תִּירָ֣א וְאַל־תֵּחָ֔ת קַ֣ח עִמְּךָ֗ אֵ֚ת כָּל־עַ֣ם הַמִּלְחָמָ֔ה וְק֖וּם עֲלֵ֣ה הָעָ֑י רְאֵ֣ה ׀ נָתַ֣תִּי בְיָדְךָ֗ אֶת־מֶ֤לֶךְ הָעַי֙ וְאֶת־עַמּ֔וֹ וְאֶת־עִיר֖וֹ וְאֶת־אַרְצֽוֹ	1		And Yahweh said to Joshua, Do not fear and do not be in disarray. Take your people, all the people of the battle and arise, go up to the Shambles. See, I have given into your hand the king of the Shambles, and with him, both his city and his land.	3e	4C	33 25

Solely her spoil and her cattle you will loot for yourselves. Set for yourself an ambush for the city behind her.	3d	4C	33 12

וְיָצְא֣וּ אַחֲרֵ֗ינוּ עַ֣ד הַתִּיקֵ֤נוּ אוֹתָם֙ מִן־הָעִ֔יר כִּ֣י יֹֽאמְר֔וּ נָסִ֣ים לְפָנֵ֔ינוּ כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר בָּרִֽאשֹׁנָ֑ה וְנַ֖סְנוּ לִפְנֵיהֶֽם	6		And they will come forth after us till we have detached them from the city, for they will say, They withdraw before us as at the first.

And they encamped from the north of the Shambles. The gorge was between them and the Shambles.	3e	4B	24 17

וַיָּשִׂ֨ימוּ הָעָ֜ם אֶת־כָּל־הַֽמַּחֲנֶ֗ה אֲשֶׁר֙ מִצְּפ֣וֹן לָעִ֔יר וְאֶת־עֲקֵב֖וֹ מִיָּ֣ם לָעִ֑יר וַיֵּ֧לֶךְ יְהוֹשֻׁ֛עַ בַּלַּ֥יְלָה הַה֖וּא בְּת֥וֹךְ הָעֵֽמֶק	13		And they set the people in place, all the camp that were northward of the city, and those with foot firmly planted seaward of the city, and Joshua went in that night in the midst of the valley.	3c	4B	27 17
וַיְהִ֞י כִּרְא֣וֹת מֶֽלֶךְ־הָעַ֗י וַֽיְמַהֲר֡וּ וַיַּשְׁכִּ֡ימוּ וַיֵּצְא֣וּ אַנְשֵֽׁי־הָעִ֣יר לִקְרַֽאת־יִ֠שְׂרָאֵל לַֽמִּלְחָמָ֞ה ה֧וּא וְכָל־עַמּ֛וֹ לַמּוֹעֵ֖ד לִפְנֵ֣י הָֽעֲרָבָ֑ה וְהוּא֙ לֹ֣א יָדַ֔ע כִּֽי־אֹרֵ֥ב ל֖וֹ מֵאַחֲרֵ֥י הָעִֽיר	14		And it happened that when the king of the Shambles saw, they moved swiftly and they rose early and the soldiers of the city went forth to the call of Israel to war, he and all with him, to engage before the steppe. And he not did know that an ambush for him was behind the city.	3c	4B	45 14

וְאֶת־מֶ֥לֶךְ הָעַ֖י תָּ֣פְשׂוּ חָ֑י וַיַּקְרִ֥בוּ אֹת֖וֹ אֶל־יְהוֹשֻֽׁעַ	23		And the king of the Shambles they arrested alive, and brought him near to Joshua.	3e	4B	9 11
