I would like to ask any Hebrew expert for an opinion about Psalm 40:7. I
think the usual translation about ears being opened does not make sense. I
have tried to regroup some of the letters into new words that I think make
sense:
"They sacrificed a gift offering, You did not desire then their lament, You gave
a feast for me, a burnt offering and a sin offering You did not ask then."
I moved the letter W to the end of the word "sacrifice" and I divided ears into "then"
)Z and "their lament" NYM. Many dictionaries say the noun NY is a variation of the word NHY.
I think the writer is saying that G-d did not want sacrifices that involved
mourning, so they gave a gift offering only. Does anyone think this makes
sense and is this translation grammatically correct? Thank you.
