Subject: [b-hebrew] Why "Random" in 2 Chron 18:33?
Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:10:49 +1100
Hi Folks,
A question has arisen on another list of which I am part as to the
translation of לתמו (from תמם) in 2 Chron 18:33.
Most English translations give "at random" or "at a venture" - but the idea
of randomness or chance doesn't occur in my rather limited references.
Nor am I able to get to a library for the next few days.
Could some kind soul please offer a couple of remarks as to why it is the translators
might have chosen "at random/at a venture" in this place when the lexicon
entry seems to centre upon notions of fullness or completeness?
Thanks in advance,
