Shalom y'all,

Does anyone know of a published English translation of David Kimhi (Radak)'s
commentary of Samuel?

Thanks,

Yigal Levin

Ex33:19 has similar constructs to Ex3:14, 'waw-1PT verb et-asher 1FT verb".

Moses asks in Ex33:16 about himself and the people. The answer also refers to
both: show the goodness to Moses, and forgive the people.

Both parts of the answer are palliative refusal: Moses cannot be shown the
glory (Ex33:20), but only the goodness; people cannot be forgiven en masse,
but many of them will be forgiven (those to whom God will show mercy).

Ex3:14 is also a palliative refusal: Moses cannot be told the name (he never
utters it to the people), but a working alternative, "God of your ancestors."

The same sense of 'verb asher verb' construct, palliative refusal, is present
in Modern Hebrew and in Russian.
