\u2026<\/span>..<\/span>(c) Where an omitted Particle is to be repeated from the preceding clause.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/span>
\n\u2026……………………………..<\/span>(1.) Negatives.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/span>
\n<\/span>.<\/span>The negative is frequently omitted; and is generally supplied in the A.V. and R.V. <\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\n<\/span>.<\/span>Deut. 33:6 \u2014\u201cLet Reuben live, and not die; and let <\/span>not<\/i><\/span> his men be few.\u201d
\n<\/span>.<\/span>
\n<\/span>.<\/span>1 Sam. 2:3 \u2014\u201cTalk no more so exceeding proudly; let <\/span>not<\/i><\/span> arrogancy come out of your mouth.\u201d <\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\n<\/span>.<\/span>1 Kings 2:9 \u2014\u201cNow therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou <\/span>art<\/i><\/span> a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood.\u201d
\n<\/span>.<\/span>
\n<\/span>.<\/span>This has been a favourite text with \u201cthose that oppose themselves\u201d
\n(2 Tim.2:25<\/a>). Misunderstanding the phrase, where David is called \u201ca man after God’s own heart\u201d (as though it referred to David’s <\/span>character<\/i><\/span>, instead of to David’s <\/span>calling<\/i><\/span>, being <\/span>chosen<\/i><\/span> by God and not, as Saul was, by <\/span>man<\/i><\/span>), infidels have pointed to 1 Kings 2:9 to show David’s faithless and bloodthirsty character! But if, as in so many other cases, we repeat the negative from the preceding clause, there is no such difficulty: \u201cbut his hoar head bring thou [<\/span>not<\/i><\/span>] down to the grave with blood.\u201d<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\n<\/span>.<\/span>True, Solomon did put Shimei to death, but this was for quite another reason, and as Solomon said, Shimei’s blood was upon his own head (verse 37<\/a>).<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\n<\/span>.<\/span>Thus the passage is brought into agreement with David’s oath to Shimei, which is repeated in immediate connection with this verse (verse 8 from 2 Sam. 19:23<\/a>). <\/span>.
\n.<\/span>
\n<\/span>.<\/span>Psa. 9:18 \u2014\u201cFor the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall <\/span>not<\/i><\/span> perish for ever.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/span>
\n<\/span>.<\/span>Here the negative is supplied by the A.V. in italics.
\n<\/span>.<\/span>
\n<\/span>.<\/span>Psa. 38:1<\/a> \u2014\u201cO Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: and chasten me [<\/span>not<\/i><\/span>] in thy hot displeasure.\u201d <\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\n<\/span>.<\/span>Psa. 75:5 \u2014\u201cLift not up your horn on high: speak <\/span>not with<\/i><\/span> a stiff neck.\u201d
\n<\/span>.<\/span>
\n<\/span>.<\/span>Here the negative is supplied, as it is in many passages. <\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\n<\/span>.<\/span>Prov. 25:27 \u2014\u201c<\/span>It is<\/i><\/span> not good to eat much honey; so <\/span>for men<\/i><\/span> to search their own glory <\/span>is not<\/i><\/span> glory.\u201d
\n<\/span>.<\/span>
\n<\/span>.<\/span>Isa. 38:18 \u2014\u201cFor the grave cannot praise thee, death can <\/span>not<\/i><\/span> celebrate thee.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/span>
\n<\/span>.<\/span>It is open to question whether Gen. 2:6<\/a> is one of these cases.
\n<\/span>.<\/span>
\n<\/span>.<\/span>The three verses 4-6 describe the condition of the earth before the creation of man (verse 7), and before the plants and herbs of the field grew. (Compare verses 4 and 9). Then three negative reasons are given why these did not grow: \u2014<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/span><\/span>(1<\/a>) \u201cFor<\/span><\/span> (<\/span><\/span>\ufb3b\u05b4\u05d9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>)<\/span><\/span> the Lord God had not<\/span><\/span> (<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u05dc\u05d0\u0597<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>)<\/span><\/span> caused it to rain upon the earth, <\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>(2<\/a>) and<\/span><\/span> (<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u05d5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>)<\/span><\/span> there was a man nowhere<\/span><\/span> (<\/span><\/span>\ufb2e<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u05d9\u05b4\u05df<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>)<\/span><\/span> to till the ground, <\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>(3<\/a>) and<\/span><\/span> (<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u05d5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>[<\/span><\/span>no<\/i><\/span><\/span>] mist went up to water the whole face of the ground.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/span>\u2026……………………………..<\/span><\/span>(2.) Interrogatives.
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>\u2026……………………………..<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u05dc\u05b8\ufb3e\u05b7\u05d4<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>(<\/span><\/span>lammah<\/i><\/span><\/span>). <\/span><\/span>Why<\/i><\/span><\/span> ? <\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>Psa. 2:1, 2 \u2014\u201cWhy do the heathen rage, and [<\/span><\/span>why do<\/i><\/span><\/span>] the people imagine a vain thing? [<\/span><\/span>Why do<\/i><\/span><\/span>] the kings of the earth set themselves, and [<\/span><\/span>why do<\/i><\/span><\/span>] the rulers take counsel together?\u201d <\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>Psa. 10:1\u2014Here the A.V. repeats it: \u201c Why (<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u05dc\u05b8\ufb3e\u05b8<\/span>\u05d4<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>) standest thou afar off, O Lord? <\/span><\/span>why<\/i><\/span><\/span> hidest thou <\/span><\/span>thyself<\/i><\/span><\/span> in times of trouble?\u201d<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>\u2026……………………………..<\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/span>\ufb3b\u05b7\ufb3e\u05b8\u05d4<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> (<\/span><\/span>kammah<\/i><\/span><\/span>). How oft<\/em>? <\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>Job 21:17 \u2014\u201cHow oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and <\/span><\/span>how oft<\/i><\/span><\/span> cometh their destruction upon them!\u201d<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>Here the words \u201c<\/span><\/span>how oft<\/i><\/span><\/span>\u201d are correctly repeated in the A.V. But why not repeat them also in the following sentences, instead of supplying the word \u201c<\/span><\/span>God<\/i><\/span><\/span>,\u201d and translate thus: \u201c[<\/span><\/span>How oft<\/i><\/span><\/span>] He distributeth sorrows in His anger! [<\/span><\/span>How oft<\/i><\/span><\/span>] are they as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away! [<\/span><\/span>How oft<\/i><\/span><\/span>] God layeth up calamity for his
\n(<\/span><\/span>i.e<\/i><\/span><\/span>., the wicked man’s) children.* He recompenseth him and he shall know it; his eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink the wrath of the Almighty.\u201d
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>*<\/span><\/span>The R.V., missing the proper <\/span><\/span>Ellipsis<\/i><\/span><\/span>, arbitrarily introduces the words \u201cYe say, God layeth up iniquity for his children,\u201d taking the words as the words of the wicked man instead of the children<\/span><\/span>!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/span><\/span>

\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>Psa. 73:19 \u2014\u201cHow are they <\/span><\/span>brought<\/i><\/span><\/span> into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.\u201d
\nBut it is better to repeat the word \u201chow\u201d: \u2014 \u201c<\/span><\/span>How<\/i><\/span><\/span> are they utterly consumed with terror!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/span><\/span>

\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>An exclamation of pain and grief \u201cHow!\u201d This gives its title to the book of Lamentations in the Hebrew Canon<\/span><\/span>\u2020<\/span><\/span><\/span> \u201c<\/span><\/span>Eykah<\/i><\/span><\/span>.\u201d<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u2020<\/span><\/span> The title in the English Version is from the Latin Vulgate. See <\/span>The Names and Order of the Books of the Old Testament<\/i><\/span>, by the same author and publisher<\/span><\/span>.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>Three prophets use this word of Israel:\u2014Moses uses it of Israel in his glory and <\/span><\/span>pride<\/i><\/span><\/span> (Deut. 1:12<\/a>): Isaiah, of Jerusalem in her <\/span><\/span>dissipation<\/i><\/span><\/span> (Isa. 1:21<\/a>): and Jeremiah, of Jerusalem in her <\/span><\/span>desolation<\/i><\/span><\/span> (Lam. 1:1<\/a>, <\/span><\/span>etc<\/i><\/span><\/span>.). <\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>Hence, the word very frequently occurs in the book of Lamentations; and its <\/span><\/span>Ellipsis<\/i><\/span><\/span> or omission is frequently to be supplied by repetition. In many cases this is done in the A.V. Note, for example: \u2014<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>Lam. 1:1, 2 \u2014\u201cHow doth the city sit solitary, <\/span><\/span>that was<\/i><\/span><\/span> full of people! <\/span><\/span>how<\/i><\/span><\/span> is she become as a widow!
