HE present Edition of the Sacred Books of the Old Testament

the new translation of the Bible has been prepared by the learned
contributors mentioned on the other page of the cover. It is,
therefore, the exact counterpart of the English edition. Wherever 5

a different division of the consonantal text (e. g. Tttb* 012?, Eccl. 10,1). A pDD l

Emendationes I have just seen (July 26, 1896), through the kindness of the Gene-
ral Editor.
In a good number of instances I am so happy as to find myself in independent
agreement with Gratz, e.g. 14,14 ip31; 20,4 Dirt (see my note); 27,33^ |-p13 10
"m; 49,24 (l)lt&M, where also Gratz omits )3K as dittography of T3K. And I
now very much incline to adopt in 9,26 Dty ^ns niiT 'sjia, with Gratz after
SCHUMANN; pn for lirtt in 22, io; and ysi for bbi in 25, 18, with Krochmal and
Gratz. In 19,29 nrsnen is probably correct {cf Is. 1,7); in 2i,28f. iS""i and nJS.l
{cf 43,9; 47,2); in 26,22 Hitzig's miBI for UnSl; and the additions naj? m 15
after nnx 29,14, and !?J1 after JKX1 in 32,6.
On the other hand, Gratz's use of the Versions, especially (5, leaves some-
thing to be desired; e.g. in 6,5 his note runs: "pi dg. Sp. P" (i. e. dittography, 1
Septuagint, Peshita). But (5 has d-mueXwc;, corresponding to pi. Again, in 9,7

05 did not read mi, though it seems the right reading. Nor did Js read 1JV 20
instead of inx in 48,22. As to (5, see my note. 5 has \+x>, and the term il;-^
is simply exegetical of by. In 49, 14 ipn for lion seems peculiarly unhappy; and
the idea that 5 read DlUi for Dli rests on a misapprehension of the translator's
methods, l-âj^ lâ.^ is a paraphrase of D"U lion {bony he-ass = strong man,
giant, 2 Sam. 21,20), somewhat like jL\-o fr^ûl for nn^tr nb\x in v. 21 {hind sent 25
= fleet messenger; because deer are swift runners). Otherwise, we might think
5 read 1133 or 133 for lien.
4 (0 [mrrviN seems to mean here just as well as Jhvh {cf DJ> in Eccl. 2, 16; 7, 11)
or in spite of Jhvh, nx = DJ? in nrojj (\S* g*>) Neh. 5,18 &c. Eve boasts her-
self of having produced a new human being in spite of JHVH, i. e., although 30
JHVH had commanded them not to eat from the forbidden fruit, viz. sexual
intercourse. The question is discussed in a special paper which will be publish-
ed in the. Journal of the American Orie?ital Society. P. H.].

6 (3) I now think that iH DJP3 originated in dittography of the following 1B>3. The
sense is complete, and seems to me more
solemn and emphatic without it.
7 (11) Instead of ill 1t?J> njn3 we should, perhaps, read 4D"nwjjH> njDEO, following 8, 14.
This gives exactly a lunar year for the duration of the Flood, instead of a year
and eleven days, for which there seems no reason. Such errors in numerals 40
are common enough.
14 (2ff.) [I can hardly believe that the "glosses" 1J7S NH &c. are due to RP or to a special
editor of c. 14; it seems to me more natural to suppose that the author of the
chapter made those explanatory additions himself to heighten the artificial an-
tique flavor of the narrative. They should, therefore, have been printed in orange 45
without overlining. P. H.].

an obvious metaphor, like that of 1 Kings 22, 11 (sec my paper on Deut. 33 in
PSBA, April 1896). The imitation of our passage by the later poet is confined
to vv. 25.26; and neither this verse, nor the line nJD "art? ]iSTi, has any parallel 5
in the older poem.
ZlMMERN's not too poetical emendation of v. 22 is DX1 *b? ms p *pV rns p
nitf "<bv VJJS \J3 A young buttock is Joseph, a young bullock, a wild-ox calf
(Wildstierjunges); my late-born son is an ox-calf. Against this we observe: (a)
that there no proof that rns (rHB) ever meant the female of the wild species; 10
is
(b) that "W denotes the domestic animal, and DSO the wild, and the poet would
hardly mix them in this incongruous fashion. Deut. 33,17 is certainly not a
parallel in this respect; (c) TJJX , 33 would naturally mean my youngest son, that
is, Benjamin, not Joseph; (d) the transition to the following verses, though easier
than in the case of the Masoredc text, is still not without difficulty, inasmuch as 15
a young bullock or ox would not be a likely object for the archers to aim at,
though a young wild -ox might be; (e) the term ibv (should it not be pointed
ibv? cf. Prov. 27 ,22) young one, from Tib)) to grow up, is extremely doubtful, in
spite of the Assyrian alu, the designation of the celestial Bull in the Epic of
Gilgames. Indeed, to those who have not adopted Halevy's paradoxical views 20
about the Sumerian language, it may seem that alu is only an Assyrianized form
of the Sumerian ALA (= GALA) demon.
Passing over other debatable points, I observe, lastly, that if the reading of
in v. 24 ab which at least has the merit of yielding a natural sense, coherent
,
with v. 23, be correct as we have seen reason to believe, Joseph is not represent- 25
ed as defending himself, bow in hand, against the archers who assail him ;
and if my transposition of the terms ms and n^s in vv. 21.22 be accepted, the
fact that the Zodiacal Archer
the shooting Scorpion-Man of the Babylonians
stands exactly opposite the Bull in the starry heavens, is quite irrelevant to
the Hebrew poet's picture of the hart beside the spring, who is the mark for 30
the shafts of the ambushed hunters.
In conclusion we may ask how it is, if there is any real relation between the
Zodiacal symbols and those of this poem, that four of the five animals mentioned,
viz. the ass, the hart, the wolf, the serpent, are not found among the twelve signs
of the Zodiac? The second animal Duodenary Cycle is 35
of the Chinese (Tatar)
the Ox, and the sixth and seventh are the Serpent and the Horse (cf Dan's
Blessing), while the eighth is the Goat; but would Professor ZlMMERN
admit any relation between this scheme and the imagery of the Blessing of
Jacob? The metaphorical characterization of the Tribes was the poet's aim; and
the lion, the wolf, &c. assign well-known traits to particular Tribes. Being merely 40
metaphors drawn from animals existing in the country, they could be differently
applied by the later poet, Deut. 33, so far as he chose to use them at all.

But vbiT pan seems to mean from before him (see note on v. 10), just as vby\b
or V^m means behind him (Ex. 11,8; Hab.3,5). And it is surely strange that
the ancient poet of Dcut. 33 should have so far missed the meaning of his model,
and the supposed connection of ideas between the lion and sovereignty, as to 10
transfer the image from Judah, not to Joseph, but to the small though martial
tribe of Dan. It would seem that he understood the lion's whelp, not as a sym-

that v. 10 is a later insertion). Me renders the verse : Nicht wird, bis er eingeht

stab von zwischen seinen Fiissen, wahrend

setting in the west, and therefore equivalent to the Assyrian sildn, with which

think of a tribe as entering Sheol, like an individual man. Nor would a Judean 30
author be likely to contemplate the entire extinction of his own tribe, which was
theme of his panegyric.

(d) The line DN2J? nnp l^l is not a fitting 11
sequel to nbxv HT o lj>, as Zimmern himself seems to have felt, if we may

judge by the curious inversion of the members of the verse in his translation, 35
which makes the line As long as (?) he holds the obedience of peoples parallel to

text which is quite impossible.
On the Blessing of Joseph, ZlMMERN remarks that the sense fruit-tree for
m'B is assumed on the ground of this passage only. It has, however, the virtual 40
support of all the Versions from (Q downwards, inasmuch as their renderings
presuppose the root mD (5 perhaps pointed JT1B or rns); and n*i& iTJS np.b = =
cannot be regarded as an inexplicable anomaly (see the Grammars). Next, on
the ground of Deut. 33, 17, ZlMMERN thinks that Joseph must have been com-
pared with an ox here also. He supports his case, further, by a reference to 45
Num. 23 f., "where Israel repeatedly appears under the image of the lion and
the wild ox," and Israel denotes Judah and Ephraim. But in Num. 23.24 there
is no indication whatever of such a division of peoples and symbols. On the con-
trary, in Num. 23,23.24 Israel, as a whole, is obviously intended; and the same
must be said of Num. 24,8.9. And as to Dcut. 33, 17, that passage docs not say 50
Joseph is a young bull or a young wild ox, but

At the last moment my attention has been called to an article by Professor
Zimmern, entitled Der facobssegen unci cier Tierkreis, ZA vii,2, p. 161. One's
judgment so apt to be overborne by almost everything that one reads in 15
is
German, that I cannot but feel glad that I did not see this paper until my own
independent study of the text was completed, and my notes, such as they are,
finally revised for press. Zimmern lays stress on the four names Simeon and
Levi, Judah, Joseph. Following a suggestion of NORK, he supposes a relation
between the "brethren" Simeon and Levi, who alone are coupled together in 20
this peculiar manner, and the Gemini or Twin Brethren of the Zodiac. Thus,
he thinks, we get new light on the obscure statement "lit? [sic] npjn BPK linn,
which, he says, strikingly recalls the fact that the celestial Bull (like Pegasus) is
mutilated, rmiTOuoc;, i. e. only the forehalf of the animal is represented in the
heavens; an appearance which must go back to Babylonian times, as it is allud- 25
ed to in the Epic of Gilgames [Nimrod] and elsewhere. Further, in this Epic it
is Gilgames and Eabani that answer to the Twins who mutilate (verstiimmeln)
the celestial Bull. The killing of the Man by Simeon and Levi corresponds to
the killing of the tyrant Humbaba by Gilgames and Eabani; and the curse on
Simeon and Levi may be compared with Istar's curse on Gilgames and Eabani 30
for having mutilated the celestial Bull.
There is no a priori ground for rejecting combinations of this kind. We have
already seen some traces of mythological influence in Genesis; and others re-
main to be noticed in connection with our English translation of the book. But
here the differences seem to be greater and more important than the resem- 35
blances. Simeon and Levi do not cut the ox in twain; they merely hough or
hamstring it 0"ipj?); a common proceeding in warfare, as regards the horses
of the vanquished (Josh. 11,6.9; 2 Sam. 8,4). It was perhaps considered speci-
ally heinous that they treated oxe?i so. At all events, rmiTouoi; is not the same as
veveupoKOirnuevoi;. Zimmern's objection to regarding WX and Tit? 'as collectives 40
may be met by reference to 32,6, where Tit? = "ip2; while such expressions as
^>Nit?i tTN the men of Israel are common. The two tribes seem to be taken to-
gether (a) because of their common action which is the subject of the curse (cf
34,25.30); and (b) because Simeon, who is not mentioned at all in the so-called
Blessing of Moses, Deut. 33, was not important enough for separate mention at 45
the time when the poem was written. But if we point D'n'N, and understand
howling creatures, i. e. hyenas or jackals or something similar, the basis of the
comparison with the heavenly Twins disappears. And some kind of savage ani-
mal seems almost required by the context (see note on v. 5). Lastly, we observe
that, whether the narrative of 34 be based on the Curse here pronounced on 50
Simeon and Levi, or vice versa, the general analogy of the poem undoubtedly
favors the supposition of an historical rather than a mythological reference (see
my paper on the Testament of Jacob, PSBA, May 1895).

Naphtali is a branching vine,
That yieldeth comely fruit.
The name of Naphtali from ^ns, to twist and twine
may have suggested 40
vine tendrils to the poet; cf the uses of the Ar. JJ^, <lXa. At all events, the
sole allusion, as in the case of Ashcr, is to the fertility of Naphtali's
land; which agrees with Deut. 33,23. Naphtali is mentioned byname among
the tribes that supplied Solomon's table; and its importance in the matter is
perhaps reflected in the fact that the deputy who ruled there for this purpose 45
was the king's son in-law.

other possibilities. It is the term used, Jud. 1,1 of Judah's going up to the ft",
conquest of the hill-country which was to become his permanent home. And
there may be an intentional contrast between the sensual behavior of Reuben 20
(f38 33ttto n^y, v. 4) and the martial vigor of Judah (rvby 13 *pD3> Against the

prim,! facie objection to the rendering weapons of vio-

The meaning of the text as restored is putting before the main flock every strip- 40

ed and every black one among the young. One object of putting his own cattle
in front was doubtless to give them the first feed of the pastures. The next
clause adds by way of further explanation: he set /hem in droves by themselves

(32,17), and put /hem not along with Laban' s flock, lb because of the sing. b3
Ipy and Din b3. Otherwise we might render as (6: he set for himself'droves by 45

Verses 41 .42 do not describe a second trick; they simply add a qualification of
the one already described: And whenever the sturdy cattle -acre in heat, facob
would set the rods before the eves of the flock in the waterdroughs, that they might
couple at the rods; but when the flock happened to be feeble, he would refrain;

Only the abnormally colored births. All lambs wholly white, all kids uniformly

the normal colors
are to belong to Laban; only black
lambs and particolored kids are to be Jacob's perquisite (vv. 32.33). Abnormal 5
coloring would, of course, be the exception but crafty Jacob is careful to seem
;
to reduce his own chances still further by the proposal that Laban shall at once
remove all the abnormally colored animals that happen to be in the flocks al-
ready, so as to prevent their breeding with the others (v. 32). Covetous Laban
eagerly closes with a plan so obviously disadvantageous to Jacob; and forthwith 10
takes the preliminary step of removing these animals, which he puts under the
charge of his own sons, who were not likely to be favorable to Jacob (cf. 31, 1),
and then moves his camp to a considerable distance from Jacob and the flocks
left in his care; so that Jacob is quite precluded from the ordinary means of in-
creasing the number of unusually colored animals (vv. 34 36). The purport of 15
the whole story is to show how Jacob's superior cunning and resourcefulness
made the best of a hard bargain; and the remaining verses (37 42) relate the
extraordinary means by which he contrived to make his employer's uniformly
colored flocks produce an unusual proportion of black lambs and particolored
kids. It is perhaps significant for the origin of this popular tale that the white 20
sheep
belong to Laban (The White); while Jacob (as if, The

render "jx^tt by Angel; but in the older scriptures we have to think, not so much
of spiritual beings existing independently of the particular occasion, as of special 5
manifestations of Deity. The corresponding formula of E, DYi^xn

Divine self-manifestation. Accordingly, in 48,15.16 we find D^nbxn and l*6n
as convertible terms (cf. Hos. 12,4.5 with 32,25.31). [Cf. Cheyne's and SociN's

might be supposed that cc. 18. 19 embody extracts from two originally inde-
It
pendent stories; the first relating a visit of JHVH, who announces to Abraham
the birth of Isaac and the doom of Sodom for which Abraham makes interces- 30
sion (18,1 .9 [and He said, <5] .15. 17. 18.20.21. 23-33); after which, Jhvh rescues
Lot, who pleads successfully for the exemption of /.oar from the general oxer-
throw (19,18 Treading Him for a reviser's them] 19 25.27.28); the second re- .
lating a visit of Three Men, conceived as DNlbs ^3 or more briefly W~b, who
after being hospitably entertained by Abraham (l8,l And Elohim appeared; 35
28), proceed to Sodom where they are similarly entertained by Lot; but, being
shamelessly molested by the men of the place, they resolve to sweep it off the
earth, sparing only their good host and his family (18,16; 19,1 [reading And the
men came]; 14 17 [they said, (8 26). Allowing for one or two insertions and ;
alterations by a reviser 18,19.22; 19,1 the two angels; 13 because the cry &c), 40

indeed we point ptofcl); but ptrT p might {cf Ezek. 23,15; Lam. 4,2). On the

implied by TIN CHV, v. 3'', and by 5" (V.3 looks like a later recension of v. 2; an at-
tempt to give the sense, and eliminate obscurity). Pointing thus, and transposing 25

hand, the mention of the King's Pale v. 17), which was near Jerusalem (2 Sam. 40

in the form of a parenthesis. On the assumption, however, that the whole nar-
rative is of a piece, Abram's giving tithe of the spoils to the priest king of Salem
is not perhaps in vital contradiction to his oath (v. 23) that he would reserve
nothing for himself. It might be alleged that the king of Sodom's proposal 45

for partly by corruption, partly by systematic alteration. According to Jll, Nahor

or according to <5 A 129. Which 1- right? The change of Jll's n-,ey yen tort's 5

Terah. The change from cney to tryae might possibly be due to corruption; 10
but more probably wa an intentional substitution of a number more consonant

period, .<". was obliged to alter 119 to 69 in the second, in order to avoid prolong

For the first name in this list of ten patriarchs from Shem to Terah or Abram
the numbers of Mmx<5 agree. Shem lived 100 years before and 500 after the birth 20
of Arphaxad. In the ensuing cases we note a systematic alteration such as we
have already observed in 5 3 ff. The sudden drop from Shem's 100 years to
,
the 35,30,34,30,32,30, years respectively for the corresponding period in the

lives of the six subsequent patriarchs, seemed improbable. Consequently, jum add
100 years in each case; so that, e. g., Arphaxad lives 135 instead of 35 years 25
before the birth of his successor; and so for the rest of the six names. In the case
of Arphaxad, Shelah, Peleg, Reu, Serug, mx subtracts the 100 years from the
.period following the birth of the successor, as has done in 5,3ft. Thus mk
really corroborates AX in seven cases out of eight. The exception, Eber, may
therefore be set down to textual corruption. According to ill, Eber lived for 430 30
years after the birth of Peleg; according to mx, not 330, as analogy would suggest,
but 270. Now a glance at the corresponding numbers in ill, from Shem to Nahor
inclusive, shows a progressive diminution in every case but this of Eber, the
numbers being 500 403; 403 ( 330); 430; 209; 207; 200; 119.
;
This fact at once
throws suspicion on Eber's number 430. A has 370, which is confirmed by mx 35
270 as the original reading of ill. How then, it may be asked, did the D'C^t?
TftV mx jmsi mtt> of ilt originate? Beyond doubt, in the n3 D'B^tri JO">K of
the previous line (v. 16), to which a transcriber's eye had wandered.
According to A, the years of Arphaxad and Shelah's second period were 430
and 330 respectively. Instead of the 30, iltû. both give 3, which is possibly right, 40
as 30 occurs in each case in the previous line of the Hebrew (vv. 12.14), an d
might have been erroneously repeated in 's Heb. MS.
B gives rexpaKoaia irevxqKOVTa for Shelah's second period (v. 15). If we sup-
pose thatxetpaKocna xpiaKovra was the original reading of , allowing for the error
just noticed, we shall see that the three lists are in relative agreement as regards the 45
first seven names: m MX

pn appears to have fallen out. The omission of the motive for sending out
the bird is the more remarkable here, as it is specified afterwards in the case
of the clove. 05 felt this, and inserted the clause from v. 8. It is better to change
the order of the verses, so that should follow vv. 8.9. This arrangement has v. 7
the additional advantage of agreement with the Chaldean account, in which the 20
mission of the dove comes first. See Haupt, Nimrodepos, p. 109, which may be
transcribed and translated thus:

it go. The raven went; saw the bottom of the the water (cf. s\ bottom of the 30 '4

of the two birds. I therefore supply D" 1

All the Versions omit to render D3. The meaning might be supposed to be for
that he, too, (like the other creatures) is flesh. But ^=1CN does not recur in
Genesis, except in the doubtful nbw, 49, 10, nor indeed in the Hexateuch. More- 20
over, the context shows that the writer intends to state not that man is by na-
ture mortal (1C?2; Is. 31,3), but that his life is to be cut short for his offenses. It
is better to point DjitS>3, with Gesenius and Dillmann, and to regard n as a

suffix.The rendering through their (mankind's) erring is, however, unsatisfactory:
(d) because error is too mild a term both for the offense and the punishment 25
(see JilP, itMtf, 119,67; Lev. 5,18; Num. 15,29.31; Job 12,16); and (/>) because

(7) The inserted clause D"Wn , D1C (cf. 7,23) was added by R, to agree with
the sequel from P (vv. 1 1 . 1 2 f.). It interrupts the connection; for the plur.

the successor, and adds them to the number of years lived previously; an arbi-
trary change made for the sake of symmetry. As to the sixth patriarch, Jared,
o'iagrees with M, as the actual numbers in his case already harmonized with
the altered numbers preceding it. mx omits 100 years, no doubt accidentally.
In the tenth case, that of Noah, all three witnesses arc at one. In the eighth 15

HE combination of red and blue-. PURPLE {e.g. 15,13) indicates

the composite document (JE), commonly known as the Prophetic 45
Narrative of the Hexateuch, compiled by an editor or redactor
(RJ E) about 640 from two independent sources: viz. (1) the Judaic
document (J) whose various strata seem to have originated in the
Southern Kingdom after 850 B. c, and (2) the Ephraimitic docu-
ment (E), written by a native of the Northern Kingdom prior to 50
650 B. c. The older strata of J (J 1 about 850 B. c.) are printed in
,
dark red (e.g. 6, i), and the later strata (J 2 about 650) in light ,
RED (e.g. 7,1). E is printed in blue (e.g. 20, 1). Green (e.g. 26,5) is used for
the Deuteronomistic expansions (D 2 ) which were added to JE during the second
half of the Exile (560540), while BROWN (e. g. 46,8) marks later strata 55
(440400) of the Priestly Code (P), the main body of which (compiled in
Babylonia about 500 B. C.) is printed black without any additional coloring.
C. 14, which seems to be derived from what might be termed an Exilic Midrash,
has been printed in orange. In the passages printed at the bottom of the pages
(e. g. p. 29) the colors do not exactly indicate the source from which these 60
glosses are derived, but simply call attention to the sections to which they
were added. OvERLINED PASSAGES represent redactional additions. Overlining
has also been used to mark tertiary strata of J (J 3 about B. C. 640, e. g. 2 10) , ,
in distinction from J 2 The arguments for these distinctions are given in the
.
introductory remarks prefixed to the explanatory notes on the English translation 65

of the Book.
