Footnotes
| 748b | Hebrew וישכם אברהם בבקר. "Rising up early" is a very "tropical" interpretation of a word which means according to Strong's Lexicon, "A primitive root; properly, to incline (the shoulder to a burden); but used only as denominative from shkem; literally, to load up (on the back of man or beast)" (cf. Strong's #7925) Because of the meaning of this verb, it makes much more sense to translate בבקר as "in the cattle/herd" instead of "morning." There are far less complicated ways to express rising up in the morning. בקר boqer morning, Strong's #1242. בקר cattle/herd/oxen, Strong's #1241 These are related/derived from the verb בקר to inquire/seek/investigate, Strong's #1240. See also Strong's #1243 בקרה baqqarah investigation/inspection. |
