| <p> Genesis 49:22 (a) This is a picture of the blessed and fruitful influence of [[Joseph]] in the life of all nations when he was governor of Egypt. It is also a picture of the blessed effect that his life and his words were to have on following generations. It also indicates that no servant of [[God]] should confine his gifts and talents to one group of believers. All of GOD's servants are to serve all of GOD's people as much as possible. </p>

Vers. of several words that require no special elucidation, but in Isaiah 17:6; Isaiah 17:9, it stands as the representative of '''''אָמַיר ''''' ''',''' '' Amir''' (Sept. '''''Ἐπ᾿''''' '''''Ἄρκου''''' '''''Μετεώρου''''' in Isaiah 17:6, and '''''Οια῾᾿Μοῤῥαῖοι''''' in Isaiah 17:9; Vulg. '' Summitate Ranti;'' Auth. Vers. "uppermost bough"), a word that occurs nowhere else, and is usually derived from an Arabic root signifying a [[General]] or emir, and hence, in the present text, the higher or upper branches of a tree. [[Gesenius]] ''(Comment.'' in loc.) admits that this. interproation is .unsatisfactory; and Lee, who regards it as very fanciful, endeavors (Lex. s.v.) to establish that it denotes the caul or sheath in which the fruit of the date-palm is enveloped. According to this view, he translates the verse thus: " Two or three berries in the head (or upper part) </p> <p> of the caul (or pod, properly sheath), four or five in its fissures." -This is at least ingenious; and if it be admitted as a sound interpretation of a passage confessedly difficult, this text is to be regarded as affording the only scriptural allusion to the fact that the fruit of the date-palm is, during its growth, contained in a sheath, which rends as the fruit ripens, and at first partially, and afterward more fully exposes its precious contents. (See [[Palm]]). Nevertheless, Furst ''(Lex.'' s.v.) and Henderson ''(Comment.'' in loc.) adhere to the other interpretation. </p> |
