be incorrect BY all lexicons ard eommen
tarles OF critical character. For example

the Book Of Job, yet in one Of them doe.
the original term have that meaning. 81
one ofthe citations mentioned often in tn,
Pentateueh and elsewhere is called inca
Offering, which leads the ready to suppose

Changes in the Pentateuch.
The first feature that arrests attention
here is the printing Of the poetical portions
IN the form OF verse. We have instances in
The blessing OF Jacob (Gen. XIX, the song
OF triumph at the Red Sea (Ex. XIV, the
rapt utterances CT Bslasm NUN. XIII,
xiv and the song and the blessing of
Moses at the end Of his life (Deut xxi,
xxxiii). Also as in shorter texts, as the
song Of Lamech (Gen. ivy, the prophecy OF
Noah (Gen. TX the Lords answer TO Re
beccs (Gen. XIV, the blessings by Isaac
(Gen. XVI, the song Of the well (Nam.
xxi) and the abrupt ode on the downfall Of
Moab (ibid }. The form Of these passages
shows that they belong to that poeticsl feel
ing and habit which perYaded the entire life
and history Of the Hebrews Whatever
moved the heart was expressed in song,
whether it was the discovery of a fountain
in the desert or Joy over some great victory.
The revision has wisely given the verse
form only to those passages which Oy their
origin aud structure compel one to see in
them an out5urst of poetiCal feeling,
The following selection Of passages which
have been changed in the revised is intend
ed as a specimen OF the work done, and of
the principles upon which it has been car
ried out.
Genosis.-In the first chapter the putting
OF each days work in separate paragraph
aids the common reader In iv. Is the
song of Lemech is made more iuteligiole
by making the second couplet read,
Fer have Stain man for rounding NE,
And young man Tor brui,ing me-
In XIII. | Abraham went up out of Egypt
.........into the South" the printing OF the
last word with q capital letter shows that it
refers to a definite region 1.-THE NegebG and
thus avoids the incongruity Of the A. '. IN
leading one to think that the patriarch
reached Palestine by going south from
Egypt. In V. Is the plain of Mamre which
is in Hebron" is changed to the oaks OF
Mamre which are in Hebron" because this
is the meaning of the Hebrew, and there is
no plain in Hebron or its vicinity. So xiv.
l3 and xviii. ~ In xviii. 10, For
know him that he viii command his children
and his household after hin" is changed to
For Ihaye known him, to the end that he
NAV command etc. In xiv. ,, "Abra-
ham said to his eldest servant, the elder OF
his house" which is what the Hebrew means.
In xxxiii. Is, And jacob came TO Shaiem,
q CITY of Shechem," because no such city as
Shalem is known, and the true rendering
shows how God fulfilled Jacobs request
xvii. 2D. la the prophecy OF jacob
(Gen. xix. are several manifest improve
ments. Reuben is charged with being not
unstable" bat, as the original word means,
boiling over is, impulsige or excita-
lie which exactly describes his character as
shown by his conduct on various OCCASIONS.
In the fifth verse, instruments Of cruelty
are in their habitations," the margin Of the
A. V, weapons of violence are their
sword, is inserted in the text, as being both
more literal and more expressive. In the
ninth verse, instead of saying that
Judah couched AS an old hon,
The revision returns to Tyndales
more accurate rendering" as honess.
There shall they rehearse the righteous
acts OF the Lord, 2 Samuel Il: 80. A:
V. reads, "Bade them teach the children OF
Israel the use Of the bo'0," the revision
SAbner smote him under the fifth rio,"
changed in agreement with modern lexicOns
to in the belly" In v: 10 we read David
went on and grew great" the revision re,
solves this Hebrew idiom David waxed
greater and greater" In Vi: l9, instead OF
q .'flaQon OF wine" the revision properly
reads. "a cake of raisins.
