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
