PREFACE. 
 
 In the work now siil)mitto{l to the public, which is an 
 attempt to supply for a book of the Pentateuch what has 
 long been done for many of the Greek and Latin classics, 
 I have endeavoured to assist the student, who has just 
 mastered the elements of Hebrew Grammar, in acquiring a 
 better knowledge of that language, as well as to attbrd to 
 tlie more advanced scholar such information on various points 
 as he may desire. 
 
 The system of furnishing a student with a complete gram- 
 matical analysis of a book, — such as that of Bythner on the 
 Psalms, or of Oliphant, and more recently of Paul, on Gene- 
 sis, — in order to enable him to translate before he has taken 
 the preliminary step of mastering the grammar, is one of the 
 very worst which can be adopted in either teaching or learn- 
 ing a language ; for it burdens the memory without exercis- 
 ing the judgment, and renders the individual who has studied 
 by means of such helps quite unable to proceed without 
 them. 
 
Vm PREFACE. 
 
 Firmly persuaded of the truth of this statement, I have 
 not given in this work an analysis of grammatical forms; 
 but, as I consider it perfectly hopeless for any one un- 
 acquainted with the etymology of a language to obtain an 
 insight into its higher mysteries, I have taken it for granted, 
 that those who will use this work are at least so far ac- 
 quainted with the rudiments of Hebrew Grammar, as to be 
 able to find out words in the Lexicon, with the help of the 
 grammar, if not without it; and I have endeavoured to in- 
 troduce them to the real difficulties of the language, namely 
 those arising from the peculiarities of its syntax. 
 
 § 1. GRAMMATICAL NOTES. 
 
 In pursuance of this plan, the grammatical portion of 
 this commentary consists principally of copious references 
 to the grammar on every peculiar idiom met with. Refer- 
 ences have also been made to the grammar on any rare 
 forms, either of verbs, nouns, or suffixes, which may from 
 time to time occur, and frequently also on peculiarities 
 in orthography. 
 
 The grammar to which I have generally referred, is 
 that of Gesenius, and the edition which I have used, that 
 published by Messrs. Bagster & Son in 4io, 1852. Very little 
 alteration, however, has taken place in the numbering of 
 the sections in any of the editions, and the references can 
 therefore be made to any edition without much difficulty. 
 The Grammar of Gesenius is the only one which ought to 
 
IMIKK ACK. I\ 
 
 he placed in tlic liaiids of a student l>y a judicious teacher. 
 The most useful conipendiunis with which 1 am acijuainted, 
 if one is obliged to study without a teacher, are those of 
 .1. IJ. \Volf and Dr. Tre^elles , l)oth puhlished hy Messrs. 
 IJa.i^stei-. 
 
 § 2. CRITICAL NOTKS. 
 
 Tmk renderings of various passages also form subjects 
 for notes, and I liave throui^hout called attention moi't! es- 
 pecially to those passages in which our Authorised Version 
 (indicated by the initials "A. W") has misunderstood or mis- 
 interpreted the original. 
 
 In the notes properly critical, I have endeavoured to 
 give tiie most important opinions of the commentators, but 
 have frequently, when the matter was very doubtful, expressed 
 none of my own. 
 
 The commentators whose works have been used through- 
 out are the following: Maurer's Comm. in Vet. Test.; Ilosen- 
 niiiller's Scholia; tlie Translation of Genesis with notes by 
 l)e Sola, Lindenthal and llaphall (Loud. Bagster, 1844), which 
 1 liave cited under the name of tlie first editor I)e Sola; 
 Ilarretfs Synopsis of Criticisms, from whence Geddes and 
 Schumann have been quoted; Hengstenberg's Christology, 
 and his Dissert, on the (ienuineness and Authenticity of the 
 Pentateuch; Hiivernick's Introduction to the Pent.; Tuch, 
 Delitzsch and Knobel's Commentaries on Genesis; Gcsenius' 
 Thesaurus, now conq)leted by Rodiger ; also his Dissert, de 
 
X PREFACE. 
 
 Pent. Sam., his Lexicon Manuale (2ntl. ed. Leipzig 1847), 
 and tlie English transhition by Dr. Tregelles ; Lee's Hebrew 
 and Chald. Lex. ; Land's Disput. de Carmine Jacobi (Leyden 
 1858); and Kalisch's Historical and Critical Commentary. 
 The last work was not published till I had completed my 
 notes on the first twenty-five chapters, but these were 
 afterwards compared with it. 
 
 § 3. THEOLOGICAL AND CHRONOLOGICAL QUESTIONS. 
 
 And here I must mention that I have carefully abstained 
 from intermeddling in my commentary with theological and 
 chronological questions. I have noted the variations in 
 chronology as so many various readings, but have not in 
 any case attempted to alter the text, or indeed to express 
 any opinion on the subject. Had I entered into such ques- 
 tions, the work would have far exceeded the limits, which 
 I had prescribed to myself, and I have accordingly preferred 
 to leave the discussion of such points to other more com- 
 petent scholars. 
 
 So also with respect to theological questions. In cases 
 of disputed translation, where a grave point often turns on 
 the meaning assigned to the passage, I have thought it riglit 
 to mention the various opinions, but not to enter into any 
 discussion about them. It must be borne in mind, that fre- 
 quently translations, which are critically unobjectionable, are 
 theologically objectionable. A passage frequently admits of 
 two renderings, and a commentator will adopt the one or

 and that some of these are of a conflicting;' nature; an opi- 
 ni(Ui which, of course, very considerahly alfects their criti- 
 cisms (ui many i)assages. 
 
 To such views I am decidedly ojjposed. Believing, as 
 I do, the Bible to he a Divine revelation, written by men 
 under tlie influence of inspiration, I cannot agree with the 
 ideas of those, who hold that mythic narratives are to be 
 found in tliat revelation. Yet I have considered it incum- 
 bent on au impartial critic fairly to state the various views 
 taken of a passage, whether he may agree with them or not; 
 and I anticipate no evil consequences from the pursuance 
 of such a course. 
 
 These observations, I trust, are sufficient on tliis liead. 
 To enter into a refutation of the various opinions mentioned, 
 however imixirtant tliat might be, would have comi)letely 
 altered the entire work, which is intended to be purely of 
 a philological, and not of a theological nature. Most of the 
 views referred to will be found ably discussed in detail in 
 the works of llengstenberg and Iliivernick on the Pentateucli, 
 although the work of the former especially reipiires to i)e 
 read with caution.

 § 4. STATE OF THE HEBREW TEXT. 
 
 It seems to be an opinion very i)revalent, in this coun- 
 try at least, that the Hebrew text is comparatively, if not 
 absolutely free from all corruption. The care assumed to 
 have been taken in the transcription of Mss., and the exist- 
 ence of the Masora, in which the very letters are carefully 
 counted, are supposed to have acted in such a way as to 
 preserve the text remarkably pure; and most scholars in 
 this country do not seem to have dreamed of corruptions 
 in the Masoretic text, except perhaps in those passages bear- 
 ing on the controversy between the Jews and the Gentiles. 
 Now it is not generally borne in mind, that the Masora 
 itself is of comparatively modern date, when compared with 
 the age of the works on which it was written; that not only 
 does the system of vowel-points, though of the highest 
 value, not go farther back than the ^sixth or seventh cen- 
 tury after Christ, but that even the vowel letters themselves 
 were not used at all in the earlier stages of the language, 
 as may be clearly seen from extant Phoenician inscriptions 
 (vid. Gesenii Monument. Phoen.); that at several periods in 
 the history of the Hebrew nation, the Sacred Scriptures 
 seem to have been almost utterly destroyed, the great body 
 of the people having apostatised, or being in exile; and 
 that, even when restored to their native land, the Jews 
 did not for any lengthened period enjoy tranquillity. All 
 these undeniable facts, even had we nothing else to go 
 upon, would serve to render it highly probable, that the 
 
PRF.FAri;. XIII 
 
 Hebrew Scriptures would, when (riticnlly oxiiinincd. he 
 found to abound in t'aultv leadings and nnnicious (irtlid- 
 iiraphica! bhmdors. 
 
 i'.ut inih'poiKhMitly of sucli a prt'sumptioii, the colbi- 
 tions of Kcunifott and l)e Uo.s.si, eveu iucoiupbdc as they 
 are. have phiinly revealed the fact that, apart from the 
 various I'eadinn's to i)e ji,atliered from the versions, a 
 considerable variety of reading's exists in the Masoretic 
 Mss. themselves; and if the collations made l)y those 
 scholars had been extended to the vowel-points, the number 
 of variants would have been more than trebled. 
 
 Kenuicott did not revise the text; he merely reprinted 
 that of Van der Hooght, which he made the basis of his 
 various readings, and which has ever since been considered 
 as the U'xlus receptus of the Hebrew Bible. The collations 
 of De Rossi are much more valuable, but neither did he 
 reprint the text, nor do more than prepare the way for 
 its revision. 
 
 Yet what use has been made, after all, of these colla- 
 tions? The text of Van der Hooght is now more tirmly 
 established than ever, though it was made without the 
 advantage of such collations as we possess; and although 
 many scholars have, with praiseworthy diligence, applied them- 
 selves to the correction of the text of the Greek New Testa- 
 ment, and have achieved much in that direction, still little, 
 if anything, has as yet been done for our present Hebrew text. 
 
 The only attempts at a revision of the Hebrew text 
 worth noting are those of Hamilton and Davidson. The 
 
XIV PREFACE. 
 
 work of the former, entitled Codex Cr'itkm Vei. Test., was 
 published in London in lcS21. It is now very scarce, and, 
 though useful as a contribution towards the formation of 
 a standard text, is in every way far inferior to [the Avork 
 of the latter scholar. Besides, the plan adopted of indicating 
 the versions by letters of the alphabet, renders it not 
 easily available for purposes of reference. The work of 
 Dr. S. Davidson on the Revision of the Hehrav Text of the 
 Old Test., published by Messrs. Bagster, ought to be in the 
 hands of all who pretend to any acquaintance with the 
 Hebrew Scriptures. In the present work I have attempted 
 to go somewhat farther than Dr. Davidson in the revision 
 of the text, as far as the book of Genesis is concerned. 
 
 § 5. VARIOUS READINGS OF MSS. AND OF THE SAMARITAN CODEX. 
 
 The plan that has been adopted with regard to the 
 various readings is as follows. 
 
 De Kossi's Varice Lectiones Vet. Test. vol. I, and the 
 appendix in vol. IV, along with his Scholia Critica in V. T. 
 UbJ). seu Supplementa ad var. Sac. Text. lect., have been 
 always directly cited, and every reading in them, which I 
 consider of any importance, has been given under the text. 
 Davidson's work, before alluded to, has been used as the 
 basis of the various readings, although all his statements 
 have been verified, whether with respect to the readings of 
 Mss., by reference to the works of Kennicott and De Rossi, 
 or to those of the Vss., by reference to the versions them- 
 
IMIKKACK. XV 
 
 selves. Keiiliicott's Hebrew UiMe liiis eiily been (icciisio- 
 ll;ill\ used. 
 
 I li;ive adopted DavidseiTs method of noting the read- 
 iiiiis of the Mss., which he states as foUows, pief. \>. XIII. 
 
 "The followiiiji: abbreviations are employed: — 
 
 C'd. ]., a single Hebrew Ms. Cdd. 2, :), or 4, two, 
 three, or four Mss. 
 
 Cdd., more Mss. than one. Where the number of Mss. 
 is small. [)robably not exceeding six or seven, it is often 
 specified as Cdd. ">, Cdd. 3, &c., but this is not always the 
 case. Generally speaking, Cdd is ajiplied to any number 
 of Mss. under 40. When tlie number amounts to 40, and 
 does not exceed 80, Cdd. ?/iii/l. is used, i. e. Codices mitlii, 
 or many Mss. When it is bO and under 120, Cdd. iilnrim. is 
 employed, i. e. very many Mss. And wJien the numlier 
 reaches 120 or upwards, Cdd. qiKiiiiplurim. is the mark, i. e. 
 an exceeding great number of Mss." 
 
 "Cdd.", with a capital C, is also used to indicate Hebrew 
 Mss., but "cdd.", following either "Sam." or "Onk.", denotes 
 respectively manuscripts of the Samaritan text or of On- 
 kelos; e. g. "Sam. cdd. o." means three Mss. of the Sam. 
 codex of the Pentateuch. 
 
 Besides the readings of the Hebrew Mss,, a complete 
 collation is here given of the readings of the codex of the Pen- 
 tateuch written in the Samaritan character, commonly called 
 the Samaritan Pentateuch. The text, which has been followed 
 is generally that of Walton, as given in the London I'oly- 
 glott, with occasional reference to the Paris Polyglott, 
 
XVI PREFACE. 
 
 Keiinicott's Hel)rew Bible , and , though very seldom , to 
 Dr. Blayney's Reprint in Hebrew letters. Kennicott's Hebrew 
 Bible has also been referred to for the number of Mss. of the 
 Sam. Pent, which adopt a peculiar reading, as it is the only 
 work in which any collation of the readings of Sam. Mss. 
 is given. Messrs. Bagster have published, in their edition 
 of the Hebrew Bible, a very accurate collation of the entire 
 readings of this interesting copy of the Pentateuch. 
 
 § 6. VARIOUS READINGS FOUND IN THE VSS. ; EDITIONS OF THE 
 
 VSS. USED. 
 
 It is much more clifticult to attempt a list of the read- 
 ings which the translators, who wrote the ancient versions, 
 had before them; and the difficulty is more particularly 
 felt in the case of the LXX. Here we are peculiarly 
 liable to error, as a free translation may often appear to 
 indicate a various reading. I have attempted, as far as 
 possible, to give a list of their readings, though frequently 
 they are given in the commentary, and not in the footnotes 
 under the text. Whenever the LXX. appear to have had 
 substantially the same reading as the Sam., it has been 
 noted that they agree with it, although, of course, it is not 
 meant that the LXX. had actually the same dialectic forms 
 of the words as are exhibited in the Sam.; e. g. ch. 41 : 27, 
 it is said: "Odd. 3., Sam., LXX., Vulg., msni^n" (the Heb. 
 text reads m^nit' without the copula); by which it is not 
 meant that the Hebrew Mss., the LXX., or the Vulg. 
 
I>|{!:i ACK. XVII 
 
 actually had the ix'ciiliar tnnii of the Sam. (mC^lli'), but 
 uierely that they expressed the copula, and so have followed 
 the readin.u' of the Sam., in contradistinction to that of the 
 Hebrew text. 
 
 The text which I have uniformly adopted in makinu; 
 citations from the LXX., is that of Tischendorf ; but various 
 rcadin.us, (when not of the Cod. Alex., which are given by 
 Tischendorf,) have sometimes been taken from the editions 
 of Uos, Grilbe, and Holmes. 
 
 The Vulgate, Syriac, Onkelos and Saadiah liave been 
 c(dlate(l in a (jcncral way, not in every minute particular. 
 For the Vulgate I have generally used the Paris edition of 
 l^s.')(i, freiiuently collated, however, with the text given in 
 the London Polyglott, and with that of Sabatier, edited, 
 together with the fragments of the Itala, in 3 vols, folio, 
 Rheims ITl.j — 1749. This last may be looked on as the 
 most correct text. 
 
 For the Syriac I have used the text given by Walton 
 in the Loud. Polygl., always collated with that of Dr. S. Lee 
 of Cambridge \\\ the edition published by the Iiritish and 
 Foreign lUble Society, wliich latter may be considered at 
 II resent as the standard edition. 
 
 The Targum of Onkelos has been taken from the Lon- 
 don Polyglott, collated with an edition published at Konigs- 
 berg along with the Hebrew text of the Pent,, the commen- 
 tary of Rashi, the Haphtaroth and the Megilloth. 
 
 The Targum of Pseudo-Jonathan I have usually cited 
 
 from the fourth volume of the Lond. Polygl.. but have 
 
 III 
 
XVIII • PREFACE. 
 
 occasionally collated the text with that of an edition pub- 
 lished in small folio at Basel, 1607. 
 
 For the Targum of Jerusalem, which I have seldom 
 cited, I have generally used the text in the Lond. Polygl., 
 sometimes collated with that of Buxtorf in his Biblia 
 Rabbinica. 
 
 The Arabic version of Saadiah I have uniformly cited 
 from the Lond. Polygl., correcting typographical and other 
 errors that occur there. 
 
 The Samaritan version of the Pentateuch I have simi- 
 larly cited from the Lond. Polygl., but have collated the 
 text with that given by Uhlemann in the chrestomathy 
 appended to his Institutiones Linguae Samarit., Leipzig 1837. 
 Gesenius' Dissert, de Pent. Sam. has also been consulted 
 on this version. 
 
 The Greek translations of Aquila, Syramachus and Theo- 
 dotion have been cited from Bos's edition of the LXX., 
 1709, and occasionally from Origen's Hexapla. 
 
 The Fathers, when cited, which has been very seldom, 
 have been taken from the works of De Rossi or other 
 critics, with the exception of Jerome, who has been veri- 
 fied. They are, with the exception of Jerome and Origen, 
 of very little, if any, use in Old Testament criticism. 
 
 The Rabbis have been cited second-hand from the 
 various commentators, especially Kalisch, De Sola and the 
 Thesaurus of Gesenius. 
 
 For information on the history and comparative value 
 of these various versions, I know no work which I can so 
 
PREFACE. XIX 
 
 much reconiiiKMid to llic attention of the student as Dr. S. Da- 
 vidson's Treatise on Biblical Criticism. 
 
 It oujrht to be remarked licre that, frequently, when the 
 various readings on a passage have been very numerous, 
 or have been noticed at length in the commentary, they 
 have been omitted in the footnotes, a reference being made 
 to the commentary. Sometimes various readings are men- 
 tioned in tlie commenlary without any reference being made 
 to them in the footnotes, which is owing to the fact that 
 the text with tlie various readings was tlie hrst part of the 
 work put to press. 
 
 § 7. ALTERATIONS MADE IN THE HEBREW .TEXT. 
 
 Tt now remains for me to state the general principles 
 on which emendations have been made in the text, and to 
 enumerate these alterations. The text which I have adopted 
 as the basis is that of Theile, by far the most accurate 
 edition of the text of Van der Hooght, cleared of its typo- 
 graphical errors. 
 
 1. All litorae mnjusculae et minusculae, suspensae et 
 inversae, have been removed. 
 
 2. Together witli these liave been erased the Masoretic 
 notes calling attention to such points. 
 
 S. The larger sections of the Masorites, indicated by 
 P E: E or D D D, have been deleted, inasmuch as they sub- 
 serve no useful purpose. These sections have been denoted 
 
 instead by D or D. The minor sections, marked by a single 
 
 III* 
 
XX PREFACE. 
 
 D or C, have been retained, merely to indicate the com- 
 mencement or end of paragraphs. And here I may mention 
 that, only for the difficulties incident on printing at so great 
 a distance, I would have removed these sections also, and 
 have, in their stead, printed the text according to a regular 
 system of paragraphs. 
 
 4. All the Masoretic notes, which do not point out 
 anomalies in the punctuation, or indicate various readings, 
 have been erased. 
 
 5. When there is a ''Ip upon any word, the Ij^DD, or 
 written text, is treated as if it were unpointed, inasmuch 
 as in that case the vowels written underneath the word I 
 belong properly to the np (as is indicated by the very names 
 np and 2\n2); and either the reading of the np has been 
 adopted, and pointed with the vowels of the 2T\'D, or re- j 
 jected, and the ^TlD pointed in the regular manner; e. g. 
 eh. 8: 17, I have pointed the DTiD regularly N*':?.in, and not, ^ 
 with Theile, i^'^.TH, which is the pointing of the "'Ip, ^^^.^H- 
 
 6. Similar has been the plan adopted with respect to 
 words on which there is a np perpetuum, as for instance 
 in the case of the pronoun NIP], which I have always written 
 N'ln not N^n , since the distinction in gender of the pronoun I 
 seems to have been unknown in the earlier stages of the 
 language. I may here mention that even where the form 
 i<^T} actually occurs in the book of Genesis, which it does 
 some five or six times in Theile's text, I have always altered 
 
 it to Nin, which (written in the mode ^^IH) is read in these 
 places by some Mss. So again in the word "iru*^\ I have 
 
PREFACE. XXI 
 
 given; with tlio 2'nr, "^^t:'^'^, and not. with tho ^^p perpct., 
 
 7. An exception to tliis iiile has been made in the case 
 of tlie word m1m\ wliich I have evenwli(M-e left unpointed. 
 Tile fact is, that the real punctuation of the word is not 
 certainly known. The vowel points in H^n^ helonti to a 
 "•"Ip perpetuuni "•^"IN, the compound sheva heini" siiupliticd 
 merely Ix'cause the "" is not a guttural. Hence we find 
 
 n^n^^ n^n^r and nin^i, instead of M^n^'r, nin^i and nin^i; 
 
 and accordingly we see, that, when '•yils* i)recedes , mn^ 
 is pointed Hin^; that is to say, C^p'PN is read instead of 
 "'^"N, to avoid repetition. Probably the correct pronuncia- 
 tion is niri'' or ni.n^ from nin=n^M, whence by apocope 
 rp and "irp (for IH^), from which latter form, and not from 
 a form r\)~l or nini, the I^Q, lAOY, ano JEY!^ of the 
 early Fathers arose. From a form T\)T\\ tiie abbreviations 
 irp and V can easily be explained; and this reading has the 
 additional recommendation of being the only one whicli 
 agrees with the form Iu4BE, mentioned by Fpiphanias as 
 l)eing the pronunciation of the Samaritans. Although this 
 form is most probably the correct one, yet, as the matter 
 is still disputed ,.. I have preferred to leave the word un- 
 pointed; since to leave it every where as pointed by the 
 Masorites would be a concession to the superstitious obser- 
 vances of the Jews. 
 
 8. With respect to the pu7icta cxtraordinaria , I have 
 retained them in the text, as they an; of i)re-Masoretic 
 origin. Tiiis is proved l>y the mention made of them in the 
 
XXTI PREFACE. 
 
 Talmud, where the Masoretic punctuation is not even 
 alluded to. Leusden (Phil. Heb. Diss. XXII. § 4) says: 
 "ea vel casu in textum irrepsisse post tempora Ezrae", 
 (which is the date he assigns to the invention of the vowel- 
 points,) "et ante confectum Talmud, vel eadem certo consilio 
 a quibusdam Judseis circa ilia tempora esse addita; et 
 quidem eum in finem, ut efficta qusedam mysteria ex textu 
 elicerent." It is certain that the Masorites (at least those 
 of later date, who affixed the notes) did not understand 
 their nature, since they have marked them as anomalies. 
 On the opinions of the Rabbis concerning them, vid. n. on 
 ch. 16: 5. It is worthy of remark that the number of words 
 so pointed, and the number of points on each word, differ 
 in the Mss., occurring, for example, more frequently in the 
 Cassel Ms., described by Michaelis, than in our common 
 editions. It is possible that they may be remains of the 
 first rude attempts at punctuation, similar to the diacritic 
 points used for that purpose in Syriac (comp, Cowper's 
 Syriac Gramm. § 17, and Tab. A. 2). If such be the case, 
 the number of points upon each wordmust sometimes have 
 been increased; e. g. in i^'pl'r, instead of three, there must 
 have been originally only two, to indicate the vowels 
 ({<^'i'?=N^i^). 
 
 9. With respect to the more important part of the 
 revision of the text, the following course has been adopted. 
 
 a. Readings retained in the text, but most probably 
 corrupt, have been marked with asterisks. This has been 
 done in three places, viz. ch. 15: 2, 36: 2 and 16. 
 
PREFACE. Will 
 
 b. Words inserted in the text have been, wlieii it wa.s 
 possible, enclosed within brackets | ]. Tliis could not al- 
 ways be done, as may be seen from ch. 14: 10, where the 
 reading- m?2j; ^hr^) DID ihr: has been adopted instead of 
 mICJ/'I did I'TC Here it would have been inconvenient to 
 have placed the second I'TD within brackets. The insertions 
 in the text may be divided into two classes: (1) those made 
 on the authority of Mss., as ch. 25: b; and (2) those made 
 on th(! authority of the ancient versions, supported by internal 
 evidence, as ch. 4: 8. 
 
 c. Changes have sometimes been made in the division 
 of the verses; viz. in ch. 2: 4, 5, ch. 35: 22 (from which 
 verse the numbers have been changed to the end of the 
 chapter), ch. 23: G, 7, and 14, 15. These alterations have 
 necessarily caused changes in the accentuation. 
 
 d. A few alterations have been made for grammatical 
 reasons, or to preserve rarer forms; e. g. n^'pn, without 
 metheg, ch. 1!): !); no"""!, ch. 7:23; n:nx, ch. 31:0; n;CN 
 and Di"1^[:n, ch. 39: 20, 22. All these emendations have been 
 made on Ms. authority. 
 
 e. Alterations in the vowel-points and accents. The 
 most remarkable of these is in the phrase \N1 '•ri? IND, 
 which, for reasons given in the notes on ch. Hi: 13, 14, 
 1 have everywhere pointed and accentuated "'i^l '>rp "1N3. 
 Insertions of words have, of course, altered the vowel-points, 
 or the accents, or both, as in ch. 4: 18, 25: 8. 1 have 
 also, for reasons assigned in the notes, read in ch. :>: 17, 
 DlxSl instead of DIN^I, and in v. 21, DIN^ instead of D-vvS &c. 
 
XXIV PREFACE. 
 
 f. Alterations have been made on the authority of Mss. 
 in single words; such as CJll for C"":"]'", ch. 10: 4; Tin 
 for inn, ch. 25: 15; ^N'^IHD for hii'^nD, ch. 4: IS; hi<):^ 
 for ^^X^:©, ch. 32: 30. 
 
 g. In a few places critical conjecture has been resorted 
 to. The emendation adopted in ch. 3G: 2G is undoubtedly 
 correct. Less certain, perhaps, are tlie alterations in 
 ch. 23: G, 7, and 14, 15, although the usage of the- lan- 
 guage is strongly in their favour. The verse divisions, it 
 should be remembered, are very slight in ancient Mss. In 
 the fourth place in which I have had recourse to conjec- 
 ture, viz. ch. 49: 19, 20, there is very mucli to be said in 
 favour of the emendation proposed, and but little against 
 it. The blessings on each of the tribes severally begin with 
 their respective names, Reuben, Judah, &c., with the single 
 exception of Asher (according to the Masoretic text). By 
 joining the 12 to the preceding verse, the blessing is rendered 
 more clear, the uniformity of the poem is preserved, and 
 the verse to which the D is thus added, is freed from the 
 very harsh construction with which it otherwise closes. 
 For further details I refer to my note on the passage in 
 question. I have no doubt whatever but tha.t Scheid's 
 conjecture, which I have received into the text, is the 
 correct mode of reading the passage. Ch. 30: 40 I con- 
 sider even more plainly corrupt, as we are obliged, if the 
 Masoretic reading be retained, to understand the phrase 
 ph l^iOi as referring, in one member of the verse, to the 
 entire flock of Laban, in the other, to that part of it which 
 
PKKFACE. XXV 
 
 \v;is under tlic cliaruc of .lacol). I would ciucud the pas- 
 sage iu the ni;iuiierl liuve suggested in my note; but, inas- 
 niucli as this emendation has not been proposed (so far as 
 1 ;iiu aware) by any previous critic, I iiave left the text 
 untouched. 
 
 § H. COLLATION OF I\ISS. WITH RESPECT TO THE VOCALISATION. 
 DESCUU'TION OF iMSS. COLLATED. 
 
 The Mss. examined l)y De Rossi and Kciinicott, have 
 been collated only with regard to the consonants; there has 
 been no attempt made to collate the variations in vocalisa- 
 tion or accentuation up to the present time. And yet this 
 is far from being unimportant. Considerable differences of 
 moanint;- often depend upon minute differences in punctua- 
 tion, and if such collations were generally made, some, 
 though they might be few, important variants would be 
 found, and many perhaps which would throw light on tiie 
 connexion of the Hebrew with the other Shemitic tongues. 
 
 I append on pp. 1H9 — 152 a collation of tlie vowel-points 
 of four Mss, respectively denoted by the letters A., 13., C, D.- 
 The accents I have not collated, because they are of minor 
 consequence. 
 
 1. The Ms. marked A. is deposited in the Library of 
 Tiinity College, Dublin. It contains tlie Pentateuch with 
 thr Masora. It is in ([uarto, very recent (its date being 
 147!)), and written in Africa. It has been much damaged, 
 and is in great part re-written, the second scribe having 
 
 IV 
 
XXVI PREFACE. 
 
 been very ignorant of Hebrew grammar, as is evident from 
 his blunders. This Ms. was collated by Kennicott and is 
 numbered by him 140. It is the only pointed Ms. of the 
 Pentateuch in the University Library, which is indeed very 
 poor in Hebrew Mss. I have not thought it necessary to 
 give the readings of the second scribe, 
 
 2. The Ms. designated by B. is Kennicott 17. It is in 
 the Bodleian Library, Oxford, and is there marked Arch. 
 Bodl. A. 95. In Uri's Catalogus Cdd. Orient, conserv. in 
 Bibl. Bodl., it is classed VII, and is stated to have been 
 brought from the island of Harmuz or Ormus in the Per- 
 sian Gulf. It is said to be of the 14th century. 
 
 This Ms. is in large folio, and contains the Pentateuch 
 in four columns on each page, the Targum of Onkelos being 
 written alternately with the Hebrew, except in the case of 
 genealogical lists, where no difference could exist between 
 the Hebrew and Chaldee; e. g. ch. 10: 2, 3, 4, ch. 36: 
 42, 43, &c. It consists of 2 vols., the first ending at 
 Lev. 3: 1, and the second commencing at that point. The 
 first vol. is slightly damaged at the beginning, and the 
 second vol, much injured at both the beginning and the end. 
 
 The omissions in the text are pretty frequent, and are 
 supplied in the margin in a different ink, though it cannot 
 hence be argued that they were omitted intentionally, owing 
 to their not occurring in the exemplar from which the Ms. 
 was copied, and that they were supplied by a later hand ; 
 for the omissions frequently destroy the sense of the passage. 
 The following may serve as instances. In ch. 1 : IG the words 
 
PRKKACK. XWII 
 
 rhzTr^h 'pn TlvXron nS*1 Cvn arc (.miltcd; ill ell. J: :. the 
 word Cu : ill c'h. ") : 2(i tlio second HJli'; in cli. <l: II '''dV; 
 in cli. ^s: .') U'"1"S and in v. lio ^'zr2: in cli. IM: :> u^2N; 
 in cli. 27: ;!0 D^V N':^"' i^^i^'' "^^'- Tlic omissions in the 
 laruiini arc even mure numerous than those in the llehrcw 
 text, and they are also supplied in the mariiiii. In one 
 jdace (den. .iU: 1, 2) two entire verses of Onkelos are 
 thii> aihlcil. 
 
 There are a j^reat many eases of scrijjtio jdeiia and 
 dcfectiva corrected in ink (d' the same colour, and j)r(dtaldy 
 hy the same hand, as that which su})i)lied the omissions in 
 the niarnin. Tiie vowel-points are added in a different ink^ 
 the same in which the Masora at the bottom, top and sides 
 of the columns is written. The Masora initialis is curiously 
 written in the shape of flowers, and often entwines rude 
 tigures of elephants, camels, dninons, &c. 
 
 This Ms. rarely uses the form N'lri for the feminine 
 pronoun, .uenerally reading with the """ip perpetuum N"'". 
 
 o. The Ms. denoted by C. likewise belongs to the Bod- 
 leian Library. It is codex 1. of Kennicott, and is classed 
 as Laud. 2(is, the second volume being Laud. 2(i7. It is a 
 Ms. of the Pentateuch, but defective, commencing at Genesis 
 27: i)]. It is written in folio, and has no Masora below the 
 text, though there are lines scored evidently for that purpose. 
 There are no litene majuscuhe, minusculae, or ornata^ in this 
 codex. Uri states in his Catalogue that the vowels and accents 
 are a more recent addition, as appears, he says, from the 
 (■(dour of the ink; but that is not at all certain, as there is 
 
 IV 
 
XXVm PREFACE. 
 
 no striking difference between the ink employed in writing 
 the text, and that in wliich the vowel points are expressed. 
 The letters have been renewed in some places. Kenni- 
 cott considers this Ms. to be of the eleventh century; 
 but De Rossi is probably more correct in assigning it 
 to the twelfth. 
 
 4. Codex D. is a beautifully written Ms. of the entire 
 Bible in two volumes quarto, with the Masora. It also 
 belongs to the Bodleian Library, and is classed Pocock. 
 347 — 8. It is thought by Uri to be of the 13th century, but 
 by Kennicott (of whose Mss. it is Cod, 3) to belong to the 
 paiddle of the 14th century. In a few places the ink is 
 blacker than in others, but there are no traces of the Ms. 
 having been re-written. The vowels and accents are in the 
 same ink as the letters. It has a few peculiar readings. 
 
 In ch. 27: 14, in the word C^^J^^JT, there are marks of 
 an V and some other unfinished letter under the to. In 
 ch. 30: 19, rivS''? is written over an erasure, evidently that of 
 ':'n"i, which proves these corrections to have been made by 
 the writer of the codex himself. In ch. 30: 23, n'TTii seems 
 to have been at first written instead of "inm. Similar era- 
 sures appear in other places; e. g. in ch. 33: 1, the p of 
 C'l'^Ti is written over an erasure, and so also is the D of 
 ni^lD in V, 10. In ch, 37: 4, the scribe wrote by mistake 
 112':' instead of T12"I, which he corrected without erasing the 
 h. In ch. 37: 28, the letters DD^l of the word nDD^I are 
 written over an erasure, the word underneath being most 
 probably a repetition of lisn, as the letters 2T] are easily

 § 9. I'ECII.IAUITIES IN THE oi;'lll(i(ii;Al'|| V oK THE MSS. 
 
 I now i)roceetl to note a few {tei iiliarities in the in(Mh' 
 of writinu in these Mss., as this is a snhject not altoj^ether 
 devoid of interest. 
 
 1. In cod. 15. kanietz chatni)li is almost iiivariahl.\ 
 expressed by — » so that there is no distinction in form be- 
 tween it and cliateph kametz. 
 
 2, a. Mappik is expressed in the same codex by a 
 point written below the letter, seldom within it, e. ^. 
 M^ for 7\? ; and so occasionally in cod. C. , as n^ in 
 ch. 2!j: 24. 
 
 1). Tiie mappik is also used in cod. C. with ' and \ 
 when they retain their cousonantal power; but in tlie case of 
 ■• it is written below the letter, while in that of ' it is 
 written, like the shurek, in the middle of the letter, as 
 
 c. In cod. B. the 1 is sometimes pointed with sheva 
 to denote its consonantal power, as V"N' 
 
 H. a. Final PI and V are often pointed with sheva in 
 C. and B., as np"^. 
 
 b. Final n, when pointed with sheva. has often in cod. 
 B. the sheva inscribed in the middle of the letter, e. g. 
 nni; and so in cod. C. ch. ol: 1. r\ph. 
 
XXX PREFACE. 
 
 4. Patach furtivum is sometimes omitted in cod. C, 
 as in ch. 41: 45 n;yC), ch. 39: 19 pV^2, ch. 38: 2 ]^^^*; 
 or expressed together with sheva, as inch. 39: 3 "vij^. 
 
 5. In cod. C. the non-beghadhkephath letters are very 
 frequently marked witli raphe; e. g. ch. 30: 1, Hi'?'' N*':' 
 ^pvh; in the same verse ~l?5f^m; in v. 2 zpy and "ICN^I, 
 D^n^N, yj?:; in v. 3 n^^N; in v. 4 V^), ^b'2, "i^^p; in v. 15 
 
 (3. The use of daghesh euphonic (or as it is more pro- 
 perly termed daghesh conjunctive) is very frequent in cod. C. 
 In about twelve chapters of this Ms., fully 170 instances 
 occur of the use of this daghesh in the tirst letters of 
 words. The letters in which I have noticed it are 1, 7, D, 
 J, K, p. It occurs with them in the following cases. 
 
 In 1 preceded by V— , % and "l. 
 
 In h preceded by ^^— , 2, 1, n— , H— , n— , H, v~, ), 
 1, n, ■— , ^—, '^» ^, h, ], _|, y, P], 1 (especially in the case of 
 llt'N',) "!, in ~!J?;, (which may, however, have been read IVO) 
 li', and n. 
 
 In c preceded by 2, "1, H— , n— , H, 1, V—, 1, V— , 
 1—, •>— , ■], ^, h, 72, V, p, "^, n. 
 
 In :3 preceded by n, "i, D, p], "i, W, n. 
 
 In iJ preceded by P) and n. 
 
 In p preceded by 2, n— , h, ^.. 
 
 Some of these cases are not very intelligible; in par- 
 ticular its occurrence after ■— , 1, and 1. Very anomalous 
 is tlie use of the daghesh in such instances as DSIIS, the 
 first word of ch. 31 : 39, and )Dh, the tirst word of ch. 37 : 27.

 In conclusion I have to express my warm thanks to 
 Professor AViu. Wri.uht of the University of Dublin for the 
 valuable assistance which he has atforded me in revising 
 both the manuscript and the proof-sheets of this W(»rk. He 
 has occasionally added remarks of his own, and liis library 
 of wdrks in Oriental literature has been constantly at my 
 disposal.

 degree useful in promoting the cause of Sacred learning.

 15. Nin. Two cdd. read NTI, erroneously, because, firstly, 
 the feminine form does not properly belong- to the ag-e of the

 masc. Some few LXX. Mss. have avro, and, according^ to Mont- 
 faucon, but not Holmes, some have even avri'i\ the Vulg-. has 
 now ipsa, but tlie reading ipse was common amonij the ancient 
 fathers. Vid. Sabalier in loco. li'NI "Dlki'^ NID- The second 
 accusative serves here to limit the first, and to express more 
 definitely the object of the action; Ges. § 136. 2. rem. The 
 verb. flllC occurs in three places of S.S., in Job 9: 17, Ps. 139: 11, 
 and here. In the first two passages the meaning- '7o bruise' 
 will suit; in the latter it is better to read ^JSI'ti^]', "shall eover 
 me'' (from '^^^), with Ewald, Gesenius, and Roediger in the 
 Thes., tlian to give forced meaning^s to the verb. We trans- 
 late here: "He (the seed of the woman) s/u/ll bruise tJiee as 
 to the head (i. e. bruise thy head), a7id thou shall bruise him 
 as to the heel (i. e. bruise his heel)". The Syr. supports this 
 rendering-: qi..nn\^ s^ciajb^i^z L3]o v^.A_k> ■^.^o^J ooi and the 
 
 Samarit. Vers., which uses ^13?? i. q. ^2^" "^^ strike", in 
 both parts of the verse. So also Saad. ^Xjo ^tXxio ycr 
 's_Ji*it ^^ «xtXJj viiol. (j^-ljJt "and he shall break thy head, 
 and thou shall bite hifn in the heel." The Targums of Ps.-Jon. 
 and Jerusalem adopt this meaning-, thoug^h with a wide para- 
 phrase, and the Complut. edition of the LXX._also takes the same 
 view, reading reiQTjffti and reigrjaetg. Gesenius in tlie Lex. 
 Man. takes ^,W = ^i0 "to gape at", "to lie in jvait for any- 
 thing" , and translates: "he (the seed of the woman) shall lie in 
 wait for thy head and thou shall lie in ?vaif for his heel" ; 
 and similarly Knobel. This rendering is supported by the LXX.

 whence some consider 21~!3 to be "that which ploughs", "an

 ^'\'\V "an ox". Others, for example Maurer, think that 213

 it is connected with the Sanskrit JIfJJ grabh, or^^ grah "to seize",

 fication from the proper one ol' iging donn (comp. their ren- 
 dering of P^tI '" Jo'^ ^^- ^9 by iiovxuaeiq). As we might 
 expect, the versions all differ on this passage. Onkelos, for 
 example, has: "If thou performest thy work well, wilt thou not 
 be pardoned? and ii' thou dost not iierform thy wi»rk well, 
 at the day of judgment thy sin will watch, ready to take ven-

 pressly NpuS? t^t'Z, "w tliout an hiatus". "'7^^ is never used in 
 the sense oUo speak, to talk with, but is always followed by what 
 is said, and means to say. Miehaelis and Rosenmiiller appeal in 
 favour of the former meaning- to 2 Chron. 32 : 24 andExod. 19: 25. 
 The words of the former passage are : "in those daysHezekiah was 
 sick to the death, and prayed unto the Lord; Si jnJ ^^V\'C^ Si ~??^j''l 
 and He spake unto him, and He g-ave him a sig-n (A. V.)", but 
 this, as Gesenius says , may be translated "and He promised 
 him" viz. what he prayed for; or more probably some words 
 have fallen out after Si, The latter passage is more clear: 
 "so Moses went down unto the people, CH'^N l^^^"! and said 
 unto them" viz. what God had commanded in v. 24. In Ps. 
 139: 20, nSTC^ (or ^nCN") "np"' may be translated ''they 
 speak about thee wickedly" , or ''they utter thee (thy name) 
 tvickedly'\ i. e. swear by thee falsely; but the reading of the 
 LXX. and Theod. is better, viz. "I'^Pl ^'they rebel against thee". 
 Of 2 Chron. 2: 10 the literal translation is: "And Huram 
 king- of Tyre said in writing (and sent it to Solomon): Because 
 of Jehovah's love for his people, <fcc." In the passag-e under 
 consideration, Gesenius and Tuch, following Jerome, translate 
 the clause 'n "TN 'p *!CN^1, ''and Cain said it (viz. what God 
 had said) to Abel" (vid. Ges. Thes.); but both external and inter- 
 nal evidence supports the reading given above. Bottcher and 
 Knobel would alter "lCi<''1 into "ibLt'"!, "and Cain watched 
 Abel", so as to seize the first opportunity of slaying him, com- 
 paring 2 Sam. 11: 16, Ps. 56: 7, Job. 14: 16; in support of 
 which change Knobel remarks that the LXX. evidently read HprN

 suredly", whilst Knobel would leave it untranslated, taking it 
 as equivalent to the Gr. un in the N. T. , introducing the 
 exact words of the speaker. He quotes in support of this, 
 ch. 20: 11, 27: 20, 29: 33. With regard to ^nm, it is

 in tlie two jiarallel clauses. The whole passag:e, which is ex-

 Lamecli said to his wives: 'Ada and Zillah, hear my voice; 
 ye wives of Lamcch, hearken to my \vor(Js. Surely [ vvill slay

 unnecessarily, that they read Drii or p':'\ (2) Others trans- 
 late it by "-judge", = ]"'■l^ SoTargg-. Ps.-Jon. Jerus. Symm. xnivti. 
 Similarly Rashi, R. J. Kimchi, Rosenm. and our A. V. ''shall not 
 strive.'''' (3) Some modern critics, as de Wette, Maurer, Kno- 
 bel, Delitzsch, take ]TI in the sense of '7o 7-uJe,''' connecting: it 
 with jllN. (4) Others, for example Gesenius and Tuch, render 
 
 it by '7o he humhled''' or ''abased,'''' Arab. ^It> "/o he low,''' 
 "mean.'''' Either the third or the fourth translation appears to 
 be the correct one, as ^niT seems to mean the divine breath, 
 which God breathed into man at his creation (ch. 2 : 7). Trans- 
 late i "My spirit shall not rule in mankind for ever (during- all 
 future time) ; because oftlieir transgression, they shall be flesh 
 (i. e. mortal, Ps. 78: 39, Job. 10. 4), and their days shall be 
 120 years." The life of the human race is for the future to 
 be shortened on account of their sins. The objection to this 
 is, that many of patriarchs actually lived for a much longer per- 
 iod, but it is simply meant to be a general statement, to which 
 there might be exceptions; compare Ps. 90: 11. We tnay how- 
 ever refer '•ni"! to the Holy Spirit, and then our A. V. would 
 be correct, and the latter clause of the verse would have to be 
 taken in the sense in which it is understood by Onkelos, whom 
 Hengstenberg- and Delitzsch follow; viz. that a respite of 120 
 years would yet be given before the destruction of the human 
 race, in order to see whether they would repent. This view

 This is supported by the LXX., who render it here by 6 TiEQa-

 There are 15 words with such points placed over them, ten 
 of which occur in the Pentateuch, four in the Prophets, and 
 one in the Hag-iographa. The passages of Genesis, in which 
 such points occur, are, besides the present, ch. 18: 9, 19: 23, 
 33: 4, 37: 12. The Rabbins give absurd reasons in each case 
 for these points; e. g-. in ch. 33: 4. they say that they indicate 
 Esau's teeth, the fable being- that Esau intended to bite Jacob, 
 but thai his neck was changed into marble; and in ch. 37: 12, 
 that they are meant to show that Joseph's brethren went rather

 marked in the Masora as C'lSlD j'lpri. In these passages the 
 Masorites thought that there was something derogatory to the 
 glory of God; e. g. in the passage under consideration, they 
 thought it would have been better expressed, "Jehovah stood 
 yet before Abraham", but, lest it should be read in that way, 
 they have noted that the reading in the text is the true one.

 supposes these 1,000 shekels to be a statement of tlie value 
 of the sheep, o.xen and slaves given to Abraham (v. 14) ; Tuch and 
 others think they were a separate present. N'lPl may refer gram- 
 matically either to Abraham or to the '2 'N*. The former is the 
 view of Ibn Ezra, and followed by our A. V. ; the latter, which 
 we adopt, is the opinion of most of the expositors. 'J? mC2. 
 Schroter, Rosenm., and others suppose that '^ '2 means a veil, 
 and that it was customary in the East for married women only 
 to wear veils; but in this they are mistaken. Nor is Lee more 
 accurate in asserting- that tlie women of the cities wore veils, 
 whilst those of the pastoral districts did not, and tliat there- 
 fore Abimelech, in giving- this money to buy a veil, recommends 
 Sarah to conform to the city usage, and so escape annoyance 
 for the future. The correct view is that of Gesenius, Tuch, 
 Knobel, &c., viz. that 'V '2 is "a gift to make one overlook 
 or condone an injury"; comp. ch. 32; 21, 1 Sam. 12: 3. So

 wiiere the same words occur, |p is taken, not in a partitive,

 the fertility of the land of Palestine, is here predicted. Ail 
 the ancient vss., however, have taken ]?0 in both passages as 
 partitive, in which they are followed by our A. V. and by 
 Delitzsch, who regards ^3?;ii'p as the construct plural of

 (I) Several of the Jewish commentators, followed by our A. V., 
 consider ""11 to be i. q. nil, and render: ^'Jf'hen fhoii shalt 
 have dominion, fhoii sliall break his yolw ^r. ;" but this is 
 well characterised by Uosenmiiller as mere tautoloj5^y. (2) Otliers 
 derive it from "H in the sense of '7o bewaiP (?), in which 
 case the meaning- would be: "SVhen his yoke shall be oppres- 
 sive and thou shalt bewail it before the Lord, tlien thou shalt 
 break his yoke, Ac. or: ^Vllcn Israel sins ag:ainst the Lord,

 it with the'^Ar. l>M, to tvlsh, and render, '•'when thou shall 
 desire it.'''' (4) Gescniiis translates the passag-e: "fiet autem, 
 ubi libere vagaberis, ut frangas (et decatias) jugum ejus de 
 cervicibus tuis", comparing- Ps. 55: 3, ^n"'ti'2 ""''"IN "circumvagor 
 in mcerore meoP (5) Perhaps, however, it is better to take it, 
 with Tuch, in the sense of '7o Ije refractory or rebellious;''^ 
 compare Jer. 2: 31. ''Wherefore do my people say, Oi1"l) 
 We have rebelled, we will ?wt come aga'in to thee?" Hos. 12:1,

 (comparing- Exod. 23: 15, Ps. 42: 3): "and Jacob separated 
 the lambs, and placed thefu — namely all tlie speckled and all 
 the black in the flock of Laban — before the flock." Kalisch 
 g-ives a wholly difTerent translation : "and Jacob separated the 
 lambs; and he set the taces of Lahan's flocks towards his own 
 ringstrakcd, and all his dark he set to the flocks of Laban"; 
 which, however, he scarcely succeeds in justifying-.

 to enter into details on the snbject. Onr view of the passage 
 is as lollows. In v. 31, Laljan, acknowledi^ing tliat he has no 
 rurther elaini on Jacob's services, proposes to pay him lixed 
 \va;;(S, it lie uill remain with him ("i'!" jPi^ T12 "l?2X''l). Jacob 
 declines to receive any wages, bnt consents to stay, provided 
 l.aban will agree to a proposal which he has to make. For the 
 understanding- of V. 32, it must be renierribered that the normal 
 colour ol the sheei) is white, oC the goats black (Cant. 1 : .'>, 
 4: t, 2). Jacob proposes that he and Laban should in.spect the 
 flocks and separate all the animals of abnormal colours (black 
 or spotted sheep and white or spotted goats), so that only cattle 
 of one colour should remain under Jacob's care (v. 32). The 
 ollspring ol' these, if of the normal colour, were to belong to 
 Laban: if aluioinial, to Jac('b ("'irii' hTi^). The slieep and 
 goats that had been separated from the main flock, were sent away 
 t(j a distance under the charge of Laban's sons (vv. 35, 3G). By 
 means of the stratagem of the peeled rods, Jacob contrived that 
 the one-coloured animals left to his care should produce con- 
 siderably more than the usual proijortion of young of difTerent 
 colours (vv. 37' — !•). V. 40 is very obscure, probably corrupt. It 
 seems to disciibe a second contrivance by which Jacob in- 
 creased the number of animals that were to fall to his share, 
 namely, by jdacing in view of the one-coloured cattle not only the 
 peeled rods, but also some of their variegated ofTspring. Perhaps 
 we should read ipv 72, instead of "pV t'kV (see note on v. 40), 
 and |kS*i»Zi instead of ]NiJr, deleting p,. The meaning would 
 then be: ''And Jacob separated the lambs, and placed in front 
 of the flock all the spotted and black found among- the flock," 
 so that the breeding ewes had tliose parti-coloured lambs 
 constantly in sight. Vv. 41 and 42 detail a third stratagem by 
 which Jacob secured fur himself the strong- lambs, and left the 
 weak ones to Laban's share. See the note on v. 42.

 '2. The text here is encompassed with difficulties. We 
 must not adopt tlie reading- ]"lJ?Z!iJ p (which is that oi' several 
 of the vss. both here and in v. 15), but translate: "Oholibamah, 
 the daughter of Anah, the grand-daughter of Zibeon," as plainly 
 appears from vv. 24, 25, in the lormer of which Anah is said 
 to be the son of Zibeon, and in the latter Oholibamah to 
 be the daughter of Anah. Of more consequence are the 
 apparent contradictions between the list given here of the 
 wives of Esau and their fathers, and that in ch. 26: 34. These 
 may be reduced to three heads, 1. The father of Esau's first 
 wife is here called Anah, while in the former chapter he is 
 called Beeri. Hengstenberg, however, is probably correct in 
 supposing that v. 24 gives us the key for the solution of this 
 difficulty, for it is there said that Anah found '"'the warm springs'^ 
 in the desert (vid. n. on that verse), and he may have been called 
 from that discovery "il^^lll '"'■fontanusP 2. Anah, supposing him 
 to be the same as Beeri, is assigned to three different nations; 
 in ch. 26: 34 he is said to have been a Hittite O^nn), 
 in the verse under consideration he is called a Hivvite Ol^ri), 
 while again in vv. 19, 24, he is ranked as a Horite ("""inn). 
 Anah, however, may have been called ''inri, not because he 
 actually belonged to the nation of the Horites, but because of 
 his dwelling in a cave, so that the designation would be 
 nothing more than a mere appellative; for it is scarcely cred- 
 ible that a writer or compiler would have so soon contradicted 
 himself. A greater difficulty lies in the other fact, that the same 
 man is called in one place a Hivvite and in the other a Hittite, 
 although Hengstenberg- thinks we may find "a very simple 
 solution." "The name Hittites," says this critic, "like that of

 1:1, 1 Kings 10: 2!), 2 Kin;;s 7: (i, kc, and (Jcs. The.s. p. 511. 
 There are few, however, who wonld not consider this c.\[jlana- 
 tion as forced, and we tliinlv it more probable that tlie text 
 is eorrnpt, and accordingly liave placed "'inn within asterisks. 
 We ought eitlier to read with live Mss. 'Hnn instead of 
 ']nri; or perhaps tlie reach n g- irinn in eh. 2G: 31 ^vas an early 
 mistake of some scrilx' for ^inn; comp. tlie fact that in tiie 
 same verse the Sam., LX.X, (cod. .Mex.) and Syr. read ^inn j^">N 
 for ^nnr p'>X. Several coiniiientators, for exam|»Ic Iloscnmiiller, 
 J. D. Michaelis, Tneli and Knobel, think we ought to read 
 ''^~T\_ instead of "'T;ri; but, though such a mistake might easily 
 have occurred, \vc have no autliority for tliis alteration of the 
 text, nor does it remove all our difficulties. 3. The wives of 
 Esau liave dilFerent names in the various passag^es. The 
 Oholibamali of this chapter is the Judith of eh. 2G : 34; the 
 .\dali here the Bascmath of ch..2r); and finally the Basemath 
 of V. 3 is the Malialatli of ch. 28: 9, which latter name the 
 Sam. reads instead of Basemath in vv. ;{, l, of this chapter. 
 We cannot admit the supposition of Kalisch that the Basemath 
 of this cliapter is tlie same as the Basemath of ch. 26, as the 
 father of the latter was Elon the Hittite, while the father of 
 the former was Ishmael. Several commentators consider a 
 reconciliation of (he statements liere with tliose in ch. 2(1: 34 
 and 28: !) impossible, and maintain that we have therein an 
 embodiment of two different accounts.

 Saad. and the Vulg. 
 
 16. mp ^"l^- These words are omitted in one Ms. and 
 in the Sam. cod. and vers., and are rejected as spurious by 
 Kennicott, Schumann, Tuch, Knobel, Delitzsch, &c., because 'p 'N 
 is mentioned in v. 18 as a son of Esau by Oholibamah, and 
 not as a son of Eliphaz, We liave accordingly placed the 
 name within asterisks. In 1 Chron. 1 : 36 the name disappears, 
 and is replaced by that of Timnah, who must not be con- 
 founded with Timnah, the concubine of Eliphaz. C. B. Mi- 
 chaelis, followed by Rosenmiiller, supposes that Timnah died with- 
 out children, and is therefore omitted by Moses in the cata- 
 logue of the sons of Esau, but that one of his brethren (by 
 the law mentioned in Deut. 25 : 5, 6, and even in this early 
 age known among the patriarchs, comp. ch. 38 : 8) married 
 his widow, and had a son Korah, difTcrent from the Korah 
 named in v. IS. It is, however, to be iloted that Timnah 
 is omitted by one Ms. in 1 Chron. 1 : 36. Schumann, Tuch, 
 Delitzsch and others, following the ancient versions, consider 
 f]l'>'J< as here used in the construct state, and therefore render 
 vv. 15, 16, thus: '■'These are the chiefs {or prmces) of the 
 descendants of Esau; of the posterity of Eliphaz, the firstborn 
 of Esau, the chief of Teman, Sfc. ; these names being the 
 names of the various tribes. C. B. Michaelis and Knobel render 
 f]l7i< by "family", "tribe", and translate: ^'These are the tribes 
 of the descendants of Esau.'^ 
 
 24, n^N- So we read with the Sam. and several cdd., 
 instead of the the common reading n"'NV The 1 is not ex- 
 pressed by the LXX., Syr. and Vulg., nor is it found in 1 Chron.

 untlcrstaiul the Cn^vV, a gigantic race niciilioned in Dcul. 2: 
 10, and take Nl»'2 in llic sense of meeting and coiKiuer'ntij, 
 wliicli it cannot bear. Tliis opinion is ado|)ted by the Sam., 
 whicli reads D'C^t<ri, Onk., Ps-Jon , &c. One Ms. has C^GH 
 "llw fraft'ra", and so also the Syr. Saadiah, with many of 
 the i;alil)inical commentators, Ibllowed by Hnxtorl' and onr 
 A. v., render tlie word ''mules'', whicli is a mere conjecture, 
 and has notliing to recommend it. The (Jreek translators, the 
 LXX., Aq., Symm. and Thcod, do not translate the word, but write 
 it variously ccifiiv, iuf.uv, iufiei/bt and litufi.

 not the slightest evidence that Joseph really acted in that 
 capacity. The iipliolders of this view render the phrase, as 
 in our A. V., by "a coat of many coIoi(fs'\ supporled by the 
 rendering of the LXX. in this place, ;if/raji/ Tiotxi/.og, and of the 
 Vulg-. ''tvtiica poJyinita". DC, according to this view, means "« 
 patch'', but this translation is destitute of any support from the 
 cognate dialects, and even the LXX. and Vulg. can scarcely 
 be quoted in its favour, as the LXX. in 2 Sam. have yj^^f^^ 
 xaoTicoTog, and the Vulg. ''tunica talaris". In v. 23. of this 
 chapter the Vulg. combines both opinions and translates: ''tu- 
 nica talaris et polymita'\ The rendering "tunica talaris" is the 
 correct one, since C5 is equivalent to the Chald. and Syr. 
 I^ms, primarily meaning "an extremity''. 'D '2 therefore is a 
 tunic that extended to the wrists and ancles. So Aquila in 
 Gen. yj'^('^i> ccarnayahiog^ in 2 Sam. /. xaQUcoToq; Symm.

 dated to a Hebrew root. It is compounded, according to de 
 Rossi, of ATTE tlie head and pfc'K to bow, i. e. "bow the head", 
 which is supported by the Vulg. "ut omnes coram eo genu 
 flecterent", and Aquila ap. Jerome: "et clamavit in conspectu 
 ejus ad geniculationem", ap. Origen yovaTi^etv. Jablonski 
 takes it from O'yBFpFK ''bow torvards (Joseph);" whilst Ben-

 The Targg. of Onk. and Jerus. render: i^2^.72h N2N "the father 
 of the king", deriving it from 2N and "?]"1 "« king", but the 
 Chaldee word is probably a mere corruption of tlie Latin rex. 
 If the word were Hebrew, it would be either the 1st pers. fut. 
 hipli. of Tp^^, or the imperative, according to the Chald. form, 
 for '^'IIm. The Syr. has <:^^^? I^'f <^^ "^ l4-^^o l^f

 21. The catalogue of names given in this chapter differs 
 very considerably from those in Numb. 26, and in 1 Chron., 
 as may be seen by a reference to the various reading's. In 
 no case, however, are the differences so wide as in that of the 
 sons of Benjamin. It should however be borne in mind: t. That 
 the list here given is that of those sons of Benjamin who 
 went down into Egypt, whilst those in Numbers and 1 Chron. 
 are drawn up without any reference to that event. 2. That in 
 the catalogue of Numb. 26 we have a list of the then existing: 
 families of the tribe of Benjamin, and that, therefore, all of 
 his sons who died without issue are omitted in it. 3. That 
 the g-enealogical lists in Scripture do not always carefully dis- 
 tinguish between the children and the grandchildren. With 
 these preliminary remarks we proceed to note the differences 
 between the various catalogues. The sons of Benjamin here

 in Numb. 2(1: 39, where they are called CS^D'^'' and CDin; 
 while in 1 Chr. 8: 5 they are reckoned as his grandsons, 
 and named j^lDl^' and Clin, They are perhaps identical with the 
 ceii' and C{:n of l Chr. 7: 12, in which case "T^j; must be a 
 second name of J/v?, and not to be identified with the n*"}; of 
 1 Chr. 7 : 7, as Benjamin could not have had great-g-rand- 
 children before going down to Egypt. (10.) I'lX is probably the 
 same as the ~1~X of 1 Chr. 8: 3, and therefore a grandson of 
 Benjamin. Sons of Benjamin not named in this chapter (unless 
 indeed we choose to identify them with LT'N"! and '^22) are 
 the nn"iJ and up^ of 1 Chr. S: 2. Ailditional g^randsons are 
 also there mentioned, viz. J!^'^"'2N, "IPi'^ZN, and a second Nli. 
 Perhai>s the ">"iX of 1 Chr, 7: 12, if a son of Benjamin at all, 
 is the same as the PTinx of 1 Chr. S: 1.

 Schumann: "Thou art he rvho?n thy brethren shall praise."

 Gesenius: "upon prey, my son, thou art grown up" is not 
 good, as TwV seems not to be used of the growth of animals.

 that the picture here drawn is that of a king seated upon

 of such a reading in the Mss. The Targ. of Ps.-Jon. has

 been deduced from the Rabbinical 7^'^^', Arab. J.>yLw, "foetus'^ 
 
 but the word '^'^l^' itself does not exist, and therefore this in- 
 terpretation (though adopted by Kimclii, Pagninus and Calvin) 
 is now justly exploded. We must discard at once the deriv- 
 ation from )b '^'^'is, as the form .\^ nowhere appears in the 
 Penlateuch (Gen. 6 : 3 not being an example, vid. note on

 The Sam. cod. reads ^niD3, which is probably the correct 
 reading-. Gesenius explains n^D by aphaeresis for niD2, which 
 is possible, but without evidence. Tuch, Knobel, Delitzsch and 
 
 Others take it from the rad. DID (= Arab, (cjyj'j to dress one-

 have been made, and if so, it must have been one of a very
