Dear Karl,
>The context indicates that a man should be
>looking at his wife only, not at other women,
>which should be dispersed from his eyes. My
>reading keeps the grammar as standard instead of
>changing to a grammatically non-standard
>question and fits the context. Is there any
>grammatical point that I overlook?
HH: Well, you haven't revised your translation
since I pointed out that the verb is not in the
second person imperative. If you do that, then
perhaps we can go on.
Yours,
Harold Holmyard
