Footnotes
| 106 | Hebrew שְׁנֵיהֶם֙, shnehem. This is the dual construct of “two” (double) with a possessive masculine plural suffix, i.e. theirs. This word is typically interpreted as meaning both. The word, two, is a cognate of the verb shanah (#8138), to repeat, do again, fold over which is also the root of shanah (#8141) meaning a year. Gesenius wonders, “perhaps, however, the root is rather numeral, than in the verb.” The possessive suffix is rare on numbers and found only on the numerals two, three (Num. 12:4 and Eze. 40:10, 41:16), four (in Eze. 1,10,46), and seven (2 Sam. 21:9), in the Hebrew Scriptures. The Hebrew two + suffix is found much more frequently and is by far the more variegated number in the language. The numerals two and seven are the only numerals found with the dual suffix, i.e. twofold and sevenfold which give the notion of the number being repeated, doubled, or a pair. Hence the peculiar “a pair a pair” of Genesis 7:9. Two in the singular is שֵׁנִי and means second. A couple of Hebrew words exist for double—mishneh (#4932) “the double chariot” Gen. 41:43, and kaphal (#3717) “And you have doubled over the Sixth Curtain opposite toward the faces of the tent.” Exodus 26:9 literal And HE IS BECOMING as their passing-by, and Elijah has said toward Elisha, ‘Ask what I am making for thee before I am being taken from thee.’ And Elisha is saying, ‘And HE IS BECOMING, now, a mouth of two in your spirit toward me.’” 2 Kings 2:9 literal |
| 107 | Strong’s #6175, #6174, arum. naked, prudent. Prudent, shrewd is a secondary meaning. “A fool in the Day, his vexation is being perceived, and he-who-conceals a dishonored-one is naked [arum].” (Prov. 12:16 RBT) “A prudent [arum] red-one [adam] is he-who-conceals a perception…” (Prov. 12:23 RBT) “Every prudent one [arum] is making in perception…” (Prov. 13:16 RBT) “The wise one of the prudent one [arum] causes to understand his way…” (Prov. 14:8 RBT) Strong’s #5903, erom. prudent, naked. This is different from eryah (#6181) naked, bare, uncovered which is used figuratively of defenselessness and emptiness. Hence, “prudent [erom] and bare [eryah]” (Eze. 16:7, 22, 39, 23:29). “like him who has come out from the belly of his mother prudent [erom], he is turning back to walk as he has come in; and he is not lifting anything in his toil which he might be causing to walk in his hand” Ecc. 5:15 RBT And he is saying ‘Prudent [arom] I have come out from the belly of my mother, and prudent [erom] I am turning back there. He Is has given, and He Is has taken hold, may he become, the name of He Is, blessed.” Job 1:21 RBT
