The Northern Pacific farmer. [volume] (Wadena, Minn.) 1878-1885, 1885-07-23

God is all in all to the believer, and
this is we'll given in the new reading
of verse 9: II have said unto the
Lord, Thou art my Lord, I have no
good beyond Thee"
In verse 10 the revision substitutes
for the misleading sin help the literal
rendering "to sheol," which means
that the singers soul is not to be aban-
doned to the state of the dead. The
change of the same word in xviii, 5,
shows that the writer there was not
complaining of hellish sorrows, but of
the network of the unseen world clos
ing around him. ''The cords of sheol
were round about me''

In lvi., 10, II, the comparison of Is
rael's rulers to dumb, indolent, greedy
dogs, and to faithless shepherds, is
brought out much more clearly than
in the authorized version. The indig-
nant question of Jehovah at offerings
made to idols Qvii., G), "Should re-

ter expressed by "Shall be appeascd

senting the conqueror as ''marching'

vigorous rendering of the last clause

ing the pruterit' lenses of the origi-
nal.
Correction OF Acknowledged Errors.
There are many rendcrings declared
to be incorrect by all lcXicons and
commentaries Of critical character
for example, the word hvpocritc is
found eight times in the book of Job,
yet in not one of them does the origi-
nal term have that meaning. SO one
Of the oblations mentioned often in
Prntateuch and elsewhere is called
''meat oflering,' which leads the read
er to suppose that it is an animal sac
rlice, whereas the Hebrew means an
unbloody oblation, and is correctly
rendered "meal Offering" In the
following text the incorrect word is
placed first, with reference to one of
the places where it occurs. and then
the true meaning as generally &C.
