Hi Harold, It is indeed a powerful and intriguing passage.
you wrote:
I had some trouble
with this line:
Yet it is our sickness he is bearing
Here the verb is X-Qatal, but my training would not lead me to use a
present progressive in translation.
Fair enough. I should have written, "He bears" or "He has born" Better?
I think some of your questions may be answered in my other post to Rolf
in this thread. For instance, I mention _hinneh_ and the use of present
tense for prophecy. If your questions are not satisfied by that post,
throw them back at me! ;-)
Shalom,
Bryan Rocine
