Hi all.
My name is Mike Burke, and I'm interested in Biblical Hebrew.
What I'm interested in at the moment is the range of meaning of the word "Takliyth" (used inPsalm 139:22.)
In commenting on the verse, Augustine seems to have followed the Latin Vulgate, and says a "perfect" hatred would be to hate the vices ofthe men--neither excusing the vices because of the men, or hating the men because of the vices.
It makes for a very interesting interpretation, but is "perfection" part of the meaning of the Hebrew word used in the text?
