Subject: [b-hebrew] Proverbs 1:32 - etymology of shalvah
Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2004 22:57:54 -0800
After spending some quality time with this verse I have come to a small
obstacle that I am hoping someone can assist me in overcoming. In the
KJV shalvah is rendered as prosperity. In the NIDOTT the meaning leans
more towards negligence or inattentiveness and many of the other
translations lean in this direction. Is there something more within the
context of the text that I and others have missed, but the KJV
translators did not? In a nutshell then I'm looking for any information
about the etymology of shalvah and any recommendations for other
resources that would assist me on my own. Oh, I also found that the
word used to represent shalvah in the Septuagint is a word not used in
any of the NT texts. I know that bit of info is off-topic for this
list, but would anyone care to confirm or deny that?
Thanks,
