B-Haverim,

le'emet in Isa 42:3 is a unique word. Occasionally 'emet is in the genitive case (in a construct chain) and means "faithful (or sincere)," such as 'anshey 'emet "men of truth" or "faithful men." Maybe Isa 42:3 is the BH way to say "one of truth" or "faithful one."

What do you think it means? Do you suppose it might mean "for a faithful (or sincere) person"?

Thanks in advance,
Bryan
