The Hebrew sentence in question, without the vowels, is as follows: -
brzl bbrzl yhd w'yš yhd pny r'hw
The dispute is over the vowel points in Hebrew word that's translated
traditionally as 'sharpens', or possibly as 'united'. Without the
vowel points the Hebrew word is ' yhd ', I think (sorry if that's
not how the MCW puts it).
So (if you could actaully follow that!), is it possible that Prov.
27:17 could be read as "Iron in iron is united and a man is united to
faces of his friend"?
