| Karl: I liked the idea at first, but upon reflection, I think beguiling is a better fit, as I see the passage turning on the verbs to cover (כסה) and uncover (גלה). A storm would work better if those two verbs were say, deny and proven (to be a liar), or something along those lines. Jonathan E. Mohler Baptist Bible Graduate School You wrote: in Proverbs 26:26 there’s found the word משאון M$)WN which is usually understood as coming from the root נשא N$) “to beguile, seduce with false promises: this is lifting a person up with sweet talk while not telling the whole truth”. This is a happax legomenon. |
