The blessing in Deuteronomy 33:9 about Levi is usually is translated "...who says to his father and to
his mother I have not seen him...", but it does not say who "him" is. I think the quote does
not make sense, so I divided the word "who says" into two words that I think make more sense.
Do you think it could say "behold H) bitterness MR , to his father and to his
mother I have not seen it (bitterness), and his brother it (bitterness) does not
recognize, and his son it does not know because they have kept Your word..." ?
Or maybe "behold bitterness , to your father and to your mother I have not seen
it, and with his brother it is not acquainted (?), and with his son it is not known
because they have kept Your word..."
The word "behold" H) is also used in Genesis 47:23 and in Ezekiel 16:43. Could
"behold" be used to get attention for something that is not actually there, like
bitterness?
