Judges 7

There are a pair of stems that seem to be reversed in tone in this chapter.

צעק outcry (19) cry out (19) cried out (17) mobilize (2) 'ts crying out (1) called forth (1) cries out (1) crying out (1) tza cry out (1) untranslated (1)
רוע jubilation (21) raise shout (15) blast triumph (9) shout triumph (8) raised shout (5) jubilant (4) shouted triumph (3) give blast triumph (1) raising shout (1) shouted down (1) triumph (1)

The outcry assumed a new meaning, mobilize. And the jubilation is perhaps ambivalent. But I don't know which army is being addressed in verse 21. Also I added a sense to נפל fall, to fall helter-skelter.

Possibly withdraw (נוס) could have the sense of fleeing (נדד), but I have repeatedly resisted this overlap with another stem. You can see how they might overlap in both their senses.

נדד flee (12) fled (10)  sequester (5) ride away (2) vagrant (1)
נוס withdraw (50) withdrew (46) haven (14) withdrawn (11) withdrawal (2) such withdraw (1) untranslated (1)

space is an odd gloss for תחת, but it is used for this in the description of the Sabbath in Exodus 16. An interesting association for this chapter, hardly a Sabbath.

Judges 7		Fn		Min	Max	Syll
וַיַּשְׁכֵּ֨ם יְרֻבַּ֜עַל ה֣וּא גִדְע֗וֹן וְכָל־הָעָם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִתּ֔וֹ וַֽיַּחֲנ֖וּ עַל־עֵ֣ין חֲרֹ֑ד וּמַחֲנֵ֤ה מִדְיָן֙ הָיָה־ל֣וֹ מִצָּפ֔וֹן מִגִּבְעַ֥ת הַמּוֹרֶ֖ה בָּעֵֽמֶק	1		And Jerubbaal (he is Gideon) rose up early and all the people that were with him, and they encamped by the spring of Apprehension. And the army of Midian was north of him from the hillock of Moreh in the valley.	3e	4C	26 21
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־גִּדְע֔וֹן רַ֗ב הָעָם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִתָּ֔ךְ מִתִּתִּ֥י אֶת־מִדְיָ֖ן בְּיָדָ֑ם פֶּן־יִתְפָּאֵ֨ר עָלַ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר יָדִ֖י הוֹשִׁ֥יעָה לִּֽי	2		And Yahweh said to Gideon the people that are with you are too many for me to give Midian into their hands, lest Israel adorn themselves over me, saying, My hand has saved me.	3e	4C	24 17
וְעַתָּ֗ה קְרָ֨א נָ֜א בְּאָזְנֵ֤י הָעָם֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר מִֽי־יָרֵ֣א וְחָרֵ֔ד יָשֹׁ֥ב וְיִצְפֹּ֖ר מֵהַ֣ר הַגִּלְעָ֑ד וַיָּ֣שָׁב מִן־הָעָ֗ם עֶשְׂרִ֤ים וּשְׁנַ֙יִם֙ אֶ֔לֶף וַעֲשֶׂ֥רֶת אֲלָפִ֖ים נִשְׁאָֽרוּ	3		So now call, please, in the ears of the people, saying, Who is fearful or apprehensive, let him return, and let them quit from the hill of the Gilead, and from the people twenty two thousand returned, ten thousand were still there.	3e	4C	28 22
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־גִּדְע֗וֹן עוֹד֮ הָעָ֣ם רָב֒ הוֹרֵ֤ד אוֹתָם֙ אֶל־הַמַּ֔יִם וְאֶצְרְפֶ֥נּוּ לְךָ֖ שָׁ֑ם וְהָיָ֡ה אֲשֶׁר֩ אֹמַ֨ר אֵלֶ֜יךָ זֶ֣ה ׀ יֵלֵ֣ךְ אִתָּ֗ךְ ה֚וּא יֵלֵ֣ךְ אִתָּ֔ךְ וְכֹ֨ל אֲשֶׁר־אֹמַ֜ר אֵלֶ֗יךָ זֶ֚ה לֹא־יֵלֵ֣ךְ עִמָּ֔ךְ ה֖וּא לֹ֥א יֵלֵֽךְ	4		And Yahweh said to Gideon, Still the people are too many. Bring them down to the waters, and I will refine him for you there. And it will be that I will indicate to you, This will go with you. Such will go with you. And everyone that I will indicate to you, This will not go with you, such will not go.	3e	4C	27 38

And Yahweh said to Gideon, Everyone who laps with his tongue from the water, as the dog laps, you will exhibit him alone. And everyone who bows down on his knees to imbibe.	3c	4C	10 44
וַיְהִ֗י מִסְפַּ֞ר הַֽמֲלַקְקִ֤ים בְּיָדָם֙ אֶל־פִּיהֶ֔ם שְׁלֹ֥שׁ מֵא֖וֹת אִ֑ישׁ וְכֹל֙ יֶ֣תֶר הָעָ֔ם כָּרְע֥וּ עַל־בִּרְכֵיהֶ֖ם לִשְׁתּ֥וֹת מָֽיִם	6		And this is the count of the lappers with their hands at their mouth, three hundred such. And all the remaining of the people bowed down on their knees to imbibe water.	3e	4C	19 16
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־גִּדְע֗וֹן בִּשְׁלֹשׁ֩ מֵא֨וֹת הָאִ֤ישׁ הַֽמֲלַקְקִים֙ אוֹשִׁ֣יעַ אֶתְכֶ֔ם וְנָתַתִּ֥י אֶת־מִדְיָ֖ן בְּיָדֶ֑ךָ וְכָל־הָעָ֔ם יֵלְכ֖וּ אִ֥ישׁ לִמְקֹמֽוֹ	7		And Yahweh said to Gideon, With the three hundred men, the lappers, I will save you, and I will give Midian into your hand, and all the people will go each to his place.	3e	4C	34 10
וַיִּקְח֣וּ אֶת־צֵדָה֩ הָעָ֨ם בְּיָדָ֜ם וְאֵ֣ת שׁוֹפְרֹֽתֵיהֶ֗ם וְאֵ֨ת כָּל־אִ֤ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ שִׁלַּח֙ אִ֣ישׁ לְאֹֽהָלָ֔יו וּבִשְׁלֹשׁ־מֵא֥וֹת הָאִ֖ישׁ הֶֽחֱזִ֑יק וּמַחֲנֵ֣ה מִדְיָ֔ן הָ֥יָה ל֖וֹ מִתַּ֥חַת בָּעֵֽמֶק	8		And the people took victuals in their hands and the shophars, and everyone of Israel he sent each to his tent, and the three hundred men he encouraged. And the army of Midian was for him, beneath in the valley.	3e	4C	41 15
וַֽיְהִי֙ בַּלַּ֣יְלָה הַה֔וּא וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלָיו֙ יְהוָ֔ה ק֖וּם רֵ֣ד בַּֽמַּחֲנֶ֑ה כִּ֥י נְתַתִּ֖יו בְּיָדֶֽךָ	9		And it was in that night that Yahweh said to him, Arise, go down into the camp, for I have given it into your hand.	3e	4C	20 8
וְאִם־יָרֵ֥א אַתָּ֖ה לָרֶ֑דֶת רֵ֥ד אַתָּ֛ה וּפֻרָ֥ה נַעַרְךָ֖ אֶל־הַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה	10		And if you are fearful to descend, go down, you and Purah, your lad, to the camp.	3d	4A	9 14

And he descended and Purah his lad, to the limit of the groups of five that were in the camp.	3e	4C	27 23

And of their camels, there was no count, as the sand that is by the bank of the sea for abundance.	3d	4C	22 18

And he said, Behold a dream I have dreamed, and behold, quivering barley bread was overturning in the camp of Midian, and came to a tent and struck it, and it fell helter-skelter, and overturned upward, and fallen was the tent.	3c	4C	18 57

And he returned to the army of Israel, and he said, Arise for Yahweh has given into your hand the army of Midian.	3c	4B	21 28
וַיַּ֛חַץ אֶת־שְׁלֹשׁ־מֵא֥וֹת הָאִ֖ישׁ שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה רָאשִׁ֑ים וַיִּתֵּ֨ן שׁוֹפָר֤וֹת בְּיַד־כֻּלָּם֙ וְכַדִּ֣ים רֵקִ֔ים וְלַפִּדִ֖ים בְּת֥וֹךְ הַכַּדִּֽים	16		And he distributed the three hundred men into three gangs.

Psalms 9-10

This pair of psalms is a partial acrostic poem. 9:9-20 is the psalm for today. Music is here: Psalm 9 Psalm 10.

Today's first lesson is the story of David and the Philistine. It must have been 3 years ago (indeed it was!) that we performed this music in Hebrew and English with 4 actors as the Old Testament lesson.
I wonder how my algorithms would guess glosses for this psalm if I let them. This reading is about 5 or 6 years old. The incomplete acrostic is noted by the boldface letters. (Aleph and Ayin are guttural and so may be represented by any vowel. Dalet is missing, etc. Stanzas are of varying length. Lots about acrostics in the Bible on this blog.)

Nehemiah 5

Some of those governed by Nehemiah are clearly in a bad way with respect to economic hardship. They appear to have 'sold' their children into slavery, and mortgaged their fields to pay taxes. JB renders כבשׁ as sell (מכר) and rape (שׁגל), KJV as bring into bondage (אסר). I don't have quite this luxury of free interpretation. But the exploitation among the chosen example is clear nonetheless.

KJV is showing its prejudice when it labels the nations as the heathen. "O'er heathen lands afar, thick darkness broodeth yet". This is the kind of prejudiced reading I grew up with in the shadow of  the colonial tradition. Some hymnody is less than inspirational. For גוי, KJV has about 2/3 nation and most of the rest heathen with a few gentile and people. I have used only nation for this word. Nation and body are possibly related stems. All the stems beginning with גו are noted here - I am using this site now for experimentation with presenting parts of my emerging glossary.

Nehemiah is from נאם to comfort. In the great analogy, this is the comforter, the one who builds the temple, whether new or old. Do his actions (in verse 13, his questions) represent the actions of God who takes care of his people? (Not to mention others for the moment.) Perhaps that lets us see the way in which he uses the viceroy's office and privilege. How do we use ours?

There is a phrase in verse 11 with three consecutive stems, דגן ,ירשׁ ,צהר, grain, new wine, clarified oil that sent me back to Deuteronomy and three of the minor prophets, Hosea 2.10, Joel 1.10, 2.19, 24 and Haggai 1.11. I use clarified oil to distinguish this oil from שׁמן. This phrase is like a leitmotif in Deuteronomy (7.13, 11.14, 12.17, 14.23, 18.4, 28.51) concerning the richness of the land to be possessed (also ירשׁ - no one puts new wine in old wine-skins). Also in Jeremiah, e.g. 31.12. And there are a couple yet to come.

Verse 14. It is not passive voice ('I was appointed' KJV). JB has 'the king appointed'. There is no antecedent for the subject of the verb. All these moves are clarifications to enable speed-reading. No one ever heard 'the word' with speed reading. Somehow we need to match God's patience.

Verse 2 - (we are many) perhaps a euphemism for selling their children into slavery.

Verse 13 - his, i.e. God's house and God's labour. As we labour for God so God labours for us. Not to be brushed off lightly. Hopefully that leaves the exploiters without resentment.

A test of a whole chapter in interlinear format

Most people don't think interlinears are a good way to learn a language. I think glossaries are worse. But both are useful tools. Well, I have used them! And I can create this interleaved word form in Hebrew sequence from what I have done. This is one way of checking my readings. (It could be possible to learn to read it this way - bilingual reading - and it does summarize my reasoning.)

Here is Nehemiah 9 verse 1 - scheduled for some time in early August

1

וביום and on the day עשׂרים twenty וארבעה fourth לחדשׁ of month הזה this נאספו gathered בני the children of ישׂראל Israel בצום with fasting ובשׂקים and in sackcloth ואדמה and debris from the ground עליהם upon them

The verse reads left to right like my native tongue, but the Hebrew reads in its normal sequence (each word reading right to left of course). So for instance in verse 1, twenty four (or fourth) is obviously עשׂרים וארבעה and the whole date takes 5 words in Hebrew to express including in this case the emphasis הזה added as part of the phrase. When הזה the this occurs in the sentence, the emphasis takes precedence over the immediately prior ה in the sentence. In literal English 'of the month the this' we would never read. It becomes: of this month. And the whole initial phrase: on the twenty-fourth of this month. The next bit of verse 1 is verb - third person plural masculine - subject - in construct and an implied definite article - and the children of Israel gathered. Then clearly how they gathered with fasting and in sackcloth and finally, ואדמה is interpreted from the following עליהם as meaning that they had covered themselves with some sort of debris - but I had to get ground or humus into that interpretation.(See also 2 Samuel 1:2, 15:32 same phrase) 

All the possible glosses associated with the stems for verse 1 (excluding the grammar domain) that I have used are 

אדם humanity (219) ground (195) human (182) earthling (127) adam (12) humus (7) debris ground (3) dust-bowl (1)
אסף gather (166) ingather (3) gathered sayings (1)
בן children (2,269) child (1,435) son (314) sons (149) he- (33) squab (11) untranslated (5) little (4) ben- (3) -kin (2) concerning children (2) grandson (2) kids (2) male foal (2) calve (1) children - (1) cubs (1) destiny (1) eaglet (1)
חדשׁ month (183) new moon (62) new (48) renovate (3) new thing (2)
יום day (1,126) days (745) today (179) day long (43) untranslated (13) regular (9) day span (8) two day (5) day require (2) many day (2) very day (2) days ago (1) days stretch (1) few day (1) full year (1) other day (1) plurality day (1) working day (1)
עשׂר twenty (279) untranslated (256) ten (142) tenth (72) tithe (23) eleven (14) eleventh (13) twentieth (8) tens (3) teen (1) twenty-first (1)
צום fast (42)
רבע four (208) forty (121) fourth (57) fourteen (26) fourteenth (22) four generation (4) fourth part (2) fortieth (1) four part (1) fourfold (1)
שׂק sackcloth (32)

Here's the whole chapter which if you read it, you could probably grade my paper and find some bugs in my reasoning. -- indicates no translation for the word. In verse 2 על could be rendered as concerning or the like. It is like most prepositions very flexible and in this case is interpreted as 'not required' in the English phrase. This stem is untranslated about 5% of the time.

2 Chronicles 13

See also 1 Kings 15. Abijam there = Abijah here. This is 'a sermon' related to the breakup of the southern and northern kingdoms. It is evident that the seeds of the breakup are early in the time of Samuel.

וַיֶּאְסֹ֨ר אֲבִיָּ֜ה אֶת־הַמִּלְחָמָ֗ה בְּחַ֙יִל֙ גִּבּוֹרֵ֣י מִלְחָמָ֔ה אַרְבַּע־מֵא֥וֹת אֶ֖לֶף אִ֣ישׁ בָּח֑וּר וְיָרָבְעָ֗ם עָרַ֤ךְ עִמּוֹ֙ מִלְחָמָ֔ה בִּשְׁמוֹנֶ֨ה מֵא֥וֹת אֶ֛לֶף אִ֥ישׁ בָּח֖וּר גִּבּ֥וֹר חָֽיִל	3		And Abijah bound the battle with a force of valiant men of battle, four hundred thousand chosen men. And Jeroboam arranged for battle with him, eight hundred thousand chosen men of valour and force.	3d	4C	29 25
וַיָּ֣קָם אֲבִיָּ֗ה מֵעַל֙ לְהַ֣ר צְמָרַ֔יִם אֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּהַ֣ר אֶפְרָ֑יִם וַיֹּ֕אמֶר שְׁמָע֖וּנִי יָרָבְעָ֥ם וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל	4		And Abijah arose on mount Tsemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel.	3e	4B	20 15

וַאֲנַ֛חְנוּ יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ וְלֹ֣א עֲזַבְנֻ֑הוּ וְכֹ֨הֲנִ֜ים מְשָׁרְתִ֤ים לַֽיהוָה֙ בְּנֵ֣י אַהֲרֹ֔ן וְהַלְוִיִּ֖ם בַּמְלָֽאכֶת	10		But for us, Yahweh is our God, and we have not forsaken him.

וְהִנֵּה֩ עִמָּ֨נוּ בָרֹ֜אשׁ הָאֱלֹהִ֧ים ׀ וְכֹהֲנָ֛יו וַחֲצֹצְר֥וֹת הַתְּרוּעָ֖ה לְהָרִ֣יעַ עֲלֵיכֶ֑ם בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל אַל־תִּלָּֽחֲמ֛וּ עִם־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵֽי־אֲבֹתֵיכֶ֖ם כִּי־לֹ֥א תַצְלִֽיחוּ	12		And behold as head, God is with us, and his priests, and the jubilant trumpeting to raise a shout against you.

וְיָֽרָבְעָ֗ם הֵסֵב֙ אֶת־הַמַּאְרָ֔ב לָב֖וֹא מֵֽאַחֲרֵיהֶ֑ם וַיִּֽהְיוּ֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה וְהַמַּאְרָ֖ב מֵאַחֲרֵיהֶֽם	13		But Jeroboam had surrounded with an ambush to come behind them, and they were before Judah, and from the ambush, behind them.	3e	4B	17 17
וַיִּפְנ֣וּ יְהוּדָ֗ה וְהִנֵּ֨ה לָהֶ֤ם הַמִּלְחָמָה֙ פָּנִ֣ים וְאָח֔וֹר וַֽיִּצְעֲק֖וּ לַיהוָ֑ה וְהַכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים מַחְצְרִ֖ים בַּחֲצֹצְרֽוֹת	14		When Judah faced about, behold for them, the battle was facing and from behind, and they cried out to Yahweh, and the priests trumpeted with the trumpets.	3e	4C	26 12
וַיָּרִ֖יעוּ אִ֣ישׁ יְהוּדָ֑ה וַיְהִ֗י בְּהָרִ֙יעַ֙ אִ֣ישׁ יְהוּדָ֔ה וְהָאֱלֹהִ֗ים נָגַ֤ף אֶת־יָֽרָבְעָם֙ וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לִפְנֵ֥י אֲבִיָּ֖ה וִיהוּדָֽה	15		And the men of Judah shouted in triumph.

וַיַּכּ֥וּ בָהֶ֛ם אֲבִיָּ֥ה וְעַמּ֖וֹ מַכָּ֣ה רַבָּ֑ה וַיִּפְּל֤וּ חֲלָלִים֙ מִיִּשְׂרָאֵ֔ל חֲמֵשׁ־מֵא֥וֹת אֶ֖לֶף אִ֥ישׁ בָּחֽוּר	17		And Abijah and his people struck among them, striking many, and the profaned from Israel fell, five hundred thousand chosen men.	3d	4C	15 19
וַיִּכָּנְע֥וּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בָּעֵ֣ת הַהִ֑יא וַיֶּֽאֶמְצוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה כִּ֣י נִשְׁעֲנ֔וּ עַל־יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י אֲבוֹתֵיהֶֽם	18		And the children of Israel were brought to heel at that time, and the children of Judah were assured, for they leaned on Yahweh, the God of their ancestors.	3e	4B	13 23
וַיִּרְדֹּ֣ף אֲבִיָּה֮ אַחֲרֵ֣י יָרָבְעָם֒ וַיִּלְכֹּ֤ד מִמֶּ֙נּוּ֙ עָרִ֔ים אֶת־בֵּֽית־אֵל֙ וְאֶת־בְּנוֹתֶ֔יהָ וְאֶת־יְשָׁנָ֖ה וְאֶת־בְּנוֹתֶ֑יהָ וְאֶת־עֶפְרַ֖יִן וּבְנֹתֶֽיהָ	19		And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and he conquered cities from him, Bethel and its built-up areas, and Sleepytown and its built-up areas, and Dusty and its built-up areas.	3e	4C	40 8

וַיִּתְחַזֵּ֣ק אֲבִיָּ֔הוּ וַיִּ֨שָּׂא־ל֔וֹ נָשִׁ֖ים אַרְבַּ֣ע עֶשְׂרֵ֑ה וַיּ֗וֹלֶד עֶשְׂרִ֤ים וּשְׁנַ֙יִם֙ בָּנִ֔ים וְשֵׁ֥שׁ עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה בָּנֽוֹת	21		And Abijah was resolved and took for himself fourteen women, and he had twenty two sons and sixteen daughters.	3e	4C	18 15
וְיֶ֙תֶר֙ דִּבְרֵ֣י אֲבִיָּ֔ה וּדְרָכָ֖יו וּדְבָרָ֑יו כְּתוּבִ֕ים בְּמִדְרַ֖שׁ הַנָּבִ֥יא עִדּֽוֹ	22		And the remaining words of Abijah, and his ways, and his words, are written in the searching out of the prophet Iddo.	3e	4B	14 11
וַיִּשְׁכַּ֨ב אֲבִיָּ֜ה עִם־אֲבֹתָ֗יו וַיִּקְבְּר֤וּ אֹתוֹ֙ בְּעִ֣יר דָּוִ֔יד וַיִּמְלֹ֛ךְ אָסָ֥א בְנ֖וֹ תַּחְתָּ֑יו בְּיָמָ֛יו שָׁקְטָ֥ה הָאָ֖רֶץ עֶ֥שֶׂר שָׁנִֽים	23		And Abijah was laid out with his ancestors and they entombed him in the city of David, and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years.	3d	4C	29 12
