Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Short Analysis of the Old Testament: By Means of Headings to the Chapters, Especially Adapted to the Revised Version; A Conpanion in Reading, a Table of Contents, and a Skeleton Commentary I shall be content if the ordinary reader finds that my volume lying open beside him is a help in tracing the course of thought; so that it makes reading of the Old Testament through and through more easy, pleasant, profitable, and common, than I fear it has often been. I have endeavoured to avoid all minute discussions, and even many questions which ought to be handled in every commentary properly so called. And yet I have gone beyond the plan of the old headings to the chapters, by inserting notes (almost all very brief) where I thought this really of importance; and by references to connected passages, especially where something is plainer to the reader of the original than to the English reader. And it has been my practice (though with many exceptions to it), to present an analysis of a book, or the connexion of several successive chapters. I have in many cases been glad to retain the old headings, since they are well known and are models of brevity; and I have tried to imitate their plainness and terseness. In the books of Job, Lamentations, and Ezekiel, and occasionally elsewhere, I have found it convenient to use the first person. When I refer to a marginal rendering, I refer to the Revised Version, unless I expressly say otherwise. I have retained the name "Jehovah" where it occurs in the original, because the manifest advantages of doing so were not counterbalanced by any of the considerations which led the majority of the Revisers to prefer the usage of the Authorised Version, as this is explained in their preface and in their note on Gen. ii. 4. I have written with direct reference to the Revised Version: but the book ought to be nearly as useful to a reader of the Authorised Version. Owing to the nature of the book, there are in it a very great number of references to texts of Scripture. I have been at pains to make these accurate: and I shall feel indebted to any one who enables me to correct a blunder which I have not observed.
