however, inserted a few emendations from the Various Readings

collected by Dr. Kennicott, and De Rossi, whenever they appeared
to be genuine, and of sufficient importance to warrant such insertion.
When introduced into the text, they are distinguished by being in¬
ninety closed in brackets, and the reason for their4ntroduction is assigned
in a note, that the reader may at once perceive how far we have
deviated from the common text, and how little it is affected by such
and- variations.

The notation in Roman characters has been adopted from the
“ Get-tiiee-out, thou, and-all..the-people that-orc. conviction, that it would tend materially to facilitate the progress
of the learner in the attainment of the Hebrew language, serve as
a stimulus to many to engage in its acquisition, and prove highly
one interesting even to the mere English Reader. Nothing, perhaps,
has tended more to retard the progress of Oriental Literature in
Europe, than the apparently strange, uncouth, and intricate nature
be-raglefka of the characters in which the Eastern Languages are usually
written and printed. This has been the incubus which has de¬
pressed the energies of hundreds, and from which many have fled
at-thy-lcet, away with dismay. This evil has been severely felt, and un¬
equivocally acknowledged wiih respect to some of those languages,
and has also been partially removed; and it is hoped that the
1I present undertaking will have the effect of smoothing the path
to the acquisition of that ancient and sublime language in which
the Oracles of God were first conveyed to man. Two objects were
sections; to be attained in the proposed system of notation — distinctness
of orthography and accuracy of pronunciation. The first we have
(jiman'. secured by assigning to each character and vowel-point a distinct
letter or letters, according to the annexed scheme, with as small a

various nations differ, in a trifling degree, with regard to the pro¬

it will be found, that the most approved and generally received
-VIII. mode of pronunciation has been followed ; and it may easily be
adapted to any other system, by giving to each letter, which is as
definitely fixed as in the original character, the precise sound re¬
quired. Thus those who prefer pronouncing the wiif always as v, u-pheraqaif' n ; yehowah' 'ho’ne'nu Le'ica qi’wi nu
and the qametz as 6, have merely to substitute those sounds for the

The Interlinear Translation is substantially the same with the

Thus the translation u is strictly literal, as Locke enjoins, but
never sacrifices English sense or grammar to express a foreign idiom
and, “ with regard to grammar, it is taught already by this method the-whole,
of translation, to those who know English Grammar; for every
word, as far as possible, is rendered in its corresponding part of
speech, even to the cases of nouns and the tenses of verbs; and where
this cannot be done, the exception makes the rule the plainer;
hundred so that Syntax, that part of Grammar which most perplexes a
learner, may be, and is postponed till a later period — and all that

on the footing of a child learning its native tongue, to whom the

It will be perceived, that we have arranged the poetical parts
in parallel lines, the importance of which arrangement has been
zeH..’shemT le-oolam' fully acknowledged by every competent Hebrew scholar since the
days of Bishop Lowth. “ In the best editions of the Bible,” says
Archbishop Newcome,* “ the poetical parts should be divided
into lines answering to the metre of the original. The common

Of Comparison.
• Or, first ling or first-fruit s : compare Lev. ii. 12. xxiii. 10. Deut. xviii. 4. xxvi. 10.
Prov. viii. 22. The varieties of inflection in the comparison of adjectives are
supplied in Hebrew by particles.
t That is, *• the first in dignity, and the first in strength ; ” the abstract being used for
the concrete.
1. In the comparative degree by subjoining to the positive
X Or, 11 boiling over,” for pa'hazta, ** thou boilest over/' as the Samaritan reads ; the
Chaldee pft'haz denoting to boil up, or over, as indicative of arrogance and wantonness ; min, as, Towvlm ha’-shena'yim min ha-ae'had, two are good
whence fa xa'za is in Arabic to be proud, vain-gtorioxis ; and p haz in Syriac, to be arrogant ,
licentious. So Symmachus boiling or fiowing over ; and Vulgate, effuses es . before (or better than) one.
N or m, as, 'hakam aa’tah mi’-dani’yeal, thou art wise before

(or wiser than) Daniel.
aeth'kem'
2. In the superlative by subjoining to the positive
‘you

or by the genitive, as, shemei ha’-shama'yim, the heaven of
ael..ae'retz
heavens; i. e. the highest heavens.
unto..tta-Iand-of
A superlative absolute is also formed by
a repetition of the positive, as, oamowq oamowjq, very deep. aavothei'kem'.
by subjoining meaod, as, towv meaod, very good. your-fathers.
or by adding a divine name, as, nesla aelohlm' prince of

OF THE ARTICLE.
The Hebrew has but one article, which is definite, namely, an h ‘one
with a patha r h, prefixed to a noun, and a dagesh in the succeed¬
ing letter ; but before the gutturals and reish, except r heth, it has
qametz; and before qametz it takes gegowd; as, oal..aa'hei f ka aasher laqa'h'tl mi’-yad' ha-aemori' be-'harbT
ha’-na hash, the serpent, above..thy-brethren, which I-took out-of..(/te-hand-of the-Amorite with-my-sword

OF VERBS.
J hath-shcwed *me
Hebrew verbs, properly speaking, have but one conjugation; but
they have seven variations, which have been termed conjugations,
distinguished from each other by different names, characteristic ‘God
marks, and significations, as follow:
1 Qal or Paoal, # the simple form of the verb, active or neuter, as, also
maâr, he delivered.
l(>fl
2 Niphoal, distinguished by a prefix n, ordagesh in 1st radical, pas¬
3 not 'l-had- 3 thought j and,-lo,
sive of Qal, as, nimâr, he was delivered.
zaroe'ka. wa’-yowtze'a yoaêph' aothiim' me-oim' birkaif
3 Pioel, distinguished by a dagesh in the 2d radical, intensitive, as,
thy-seed. (12) And-“brought- 4 out 'Joseph *them from-between his-knees,
mi’§cr, he delivered diligently.
4 Puoal, distinguished by a qi’butz under the 1 st radical, and dagesh wa’-yishtahu
in 2d, passive of Pioel, as, mu’gar, he was delivered diligently.

le-aa’paif aa'retzah.
5 HiphoTl, distinguished by a prefix h, and a I, or e, between 2d
and 3d radical, causative, as him^Tr, he caused to deliver. and-he-bowed-himself with-his-face to-tta-earth.
() Hophoal, distinguished by a prefix h with a u, or o, passive

7 Hithpaocl, distinguished by the prefix hith, and dagesh in 2d

qa hem..na'a
radical, reflective, as, hithma’Qcr, he delivered himself.
aelai' wa-aavare'kem'. These are the usual significations of each conjugation, though
they sometimes vary greatly from the sense attached to them above,
which, in that case, is to be determined by prescription alone.
we-
Verbs in Hebrew possess three modes—the indicative, imperative,
and infinitive, besides participles; two simple tenses — the preter,
wa -yoamar and future or aorist; two numbers, three persons, and two genders;
and are regularly inflected, as in the subjoined scheme :
And-he-said, Bring-them,..I-pray-thce, unto-me, and-I-will-bless-them. (10) (Now-
• The names of the conjugations are derived from the verb paoal, he wrought, which

INTRODUCTION#
yoamar' aano r ki' aeoeseh' r ki-dvai
It should be observed that the future, and also the preter, is often he-said, I will-do according-to-1
used for the present tense ; which is also sometimes supplied by the
participles and substantive verb, either expressed or understood, as IT.
loa yada'oti, “ I know notkol aasher yaoaseh', “ all that he
doeth” hua yoshev', “ he (is) sitting;’’ i. e. he sitteth.
(31)
The conjunctive waf has the power of changing the future into
the preterite, and the preterite into the future ; as, we-lamad'ta,
4i thou shalt learnwa’-yilmoicd', “ and he learned.” yo'amer hi’shaveoah
When the waf converts the future into the preter, it frequently
changes the long vowel of the last syllable into its corresponding Swear
short one; and cuts off the final letter when it happens to be a
hea; as, wa’-yashev, for wa’-yeshev, “ and he satwa’-yaqom, for
wa’-yaqum, “ and he arosewa’-yar'a, for wa’-yiraeh', “ and he wa’-yi’shava'o
sawwa’-terea, for wa-tiraeh', “ and she saw.”
The infinitive is frequently used participially, often with b, k, low.

1, and m, prefixed, and put in construction with nouns and pro¬
nouns ; as, we-ha’-ma'yim hayu' halow/k' we-hagowr', “ and the
waters were going and decreasingberoa aelohlm', literally, “ the wa’-yishta f hu yisraael' oah.roash

voicele-haalr' oal..ha-aaretz, “ to give (or for giving) light upon
the earth wa’-ti'khei'na oeinaif' me-reaoth', “ and his eyes were
dim from seeing,” i. e. so that he could not see. CHAP. XLVIII.
• Literally, “ were fruitful.” The infinitive when placed before a finite verb denotes the cer¬
tainty of the action, and placed after it, it denotes its continuance •
as, aakol' toVkel, “ eating thou shalt eat,” i. e. thou shalt

* yi’bem is a denominative from yiivam', a levir, or husband's brother , and signifies, to
perform the duty of a levir or husband's brother, by marrying his wife; and thus differs
sham sheloshlm'. from banal, to marry , take a wife , which is also expressed by laqah ai’shah. Among
modern eastern nations, this custom, which was certainly anterior to the law of Moses, still
prevails ; as among the Circassians, (see Olearius, Travels, lib. vii. May 20, 1638. p. 310.),

notes a circle, circuit , surrounding country, or a level tract of country, sum-ounded by hills ;

$ So Jonathan, Kimchi, and Jarchi, and the Rabbins generally, and also the Arabic and
Veneto-Ureek versions, interpret this word ; with which opinion Dr. A. Clarke coin¬
cides, and thinks it probable that from this Anah or Eneh , the Enetae derived at least their zoath
fabulous origin, whom llomer (Iliad, ii. v. 852.) mentions as famous for their race of wild
vmles . The Samaritan text has ha-fieimim', and the Samaritan version oam aeimaaei, this.
44 the Kinim,” a gigantic and w arlike people bordering on the Horites, (ch. xiv. 15.) ; and
so also Aquila and Symmachus have rov ? ’ lafilifi , and Onkelos, gi’bar&’yaa, 44 giants ; 99
for which interpretation liochart strenously contends, (Ilieroz. lib. ii. cap. 12.) The Syriac wa’-yoamer' aelaif' ha-aeI6h7m' ba-halom
version has mayoa, 44 waters, 99 probably reading with one MS. ma'yim. Jerome renders it
aquas calidas , 14 warm springs, 9 according to whom yemim / continued to have this signifi¬
cation in Punic ; and if this interpretation be correct, perhaps those of Callirrhoe may be gnm wanokl
meant, which were in the country spoken of.

$ Gesenius considers aeshel the same as the Arabic aathhm, (v. Golium and Kor. 34.
their-hand, and — aM-the-ear-rings which were in-their-ears; and- 8 hid 15.) a species of tamarisk, ( tamarix orientalis Linn.) which grows to the height of a mid¬
dling sized tree, is prickly, and on the knots of the branches bears small yellowish brown
bernes of the size of a pea. Parkhurst by a comparison of 1 Sam. xxxi. 13. with 1 Chron. x.

in Sam. renders it Sovq. But the Lxx. render aelah, by rtpkfiivOoQ , the turpentine tree ,
which is defended by Celsius, (Hierobot. P. I. pp. 34..38.) and embraced by Gesenius.
wa- Probably aeshel may not denote any particular kind of tree, but trees generally and col¬
lectively, and so a grove. So the Vulg. renders nemus , a grove ; and the Chald. ailanaa,
a tree ; and in the Talmud aeshlei raivra’bei is equivalent to ailanowth g£d6u>l6u?th, 44 great
3 them trees.”
||/iel properly signifies strong , mighty , and as an abstract noun, strength, power , and
‘Jacob hence the strong One, Almighty ; ana therefore differs from afclotcahh, pi. a^lohun', which
