'Eating' appears to be a metaphor for destruction in general. Jensen, Kosmologie, pp. 173 seq. Here used as an epithet of the nether world. See above, p. 563. Or 'palace. The lower world, it will be recalled, is pictured as a house or a country. Here the two terms are combined. See Delitzsch, Assyr. Wörterbuch, p. 341. The phrases used are the ordinary terms of greeting. See, e.g., VR. 65, 17b.
Professor Hilprecht, in 1882-83, was working at a translation of an inscription wherein came Nabu Kudurru usur, rendered by Professor Delitzsch "Nebo protect my mortar-board". Professor Hilprecht accepted this, but woke one morning with his mind full of the thought that the words should be rendered "Nebo protect my boundary," which "sounds a deal likelier," and is now accepted.
To connect these outlines with the pictures that formed the starting-point for the development of the script was again a perfectly natural procedure, although a scholastic one. The investigations of Delitzsch have shown that the more than four hundred cuneiform characters in use can be reduced to a comparatively small number of 'outlines' of pictures to about forty-five.
In this year, accordingly, the Emperor made his remarkable confession of religious faith to his friend, Admiral Hollmann. He had just heard a lecture by Professor Delitzsch on "Babel und Bibel," and as he considered the Professor's views to some extent subversive of orthodox Christian belief, he took the opportunity to tell his people his own sentiments on the whole matter.
On the one hand her confessions abound in definitions of the church as a spiritual kingdom, as a fellowship of believers. On the other hand her practice frequently reminds our brother Protestants of the Catholics, and they are disposed to look upon us as Romanists, minorum gentium. "Like a will-of-the-wisp," says Delitzsch, "the idea of the church eludes us.
"In 1880 there was in the United States one Evangelical Church organization to every 516 of the population. In Boston there is 1 church to every 1,600 of the population; in Chicago 1 to 2,081; in New York 1 to 2,468; in St. Louis 1 to 2,800." Our Country, by Rev. Josiah Strong, D.D. See Duhm: Die Theologie der Propheten preface. Cheyne, Smith, Delitzsch, von Orelli, Dillmann, etc.
Indeed it is now regarded as well-nigh certain that the last twenty-seven chapters are the work of a later prophet, of one who wrote during the Captivity. Professor Delitzsch, in the last edition of his commentary on Isaiah, finally concedes that this is probable.
The force of na is not clear, unless it be a phonetic complement merely. Semitische Völker, p. 369. Very many of the names of the Semitic gods and heroes signify strong, e.g., El, Adon, Baal, Etana, Kemosh, etc. The final vowel i would, on the basis of the explanation offered, be paralleled by the i of Igigi an indication of the plural. See Delitzsch, Assyr. Gram. § 67, 1.
Delitzsch, Ewald, Gesenius, Perowne, Thrupp, Kay too, give no rule by which the scholar is to know from the grammar whether the time is past, present, or future, i.e., whether such and such a verse is a narrative of a past fact or the prophecy of a future one. It is much a matter of exegesis; but exegesis not based on grammar is worth very little.
The proverb in verse 6 is susceptible of different renderings in the first clause. Delitzsch and others would translate, 'Almost every man meets a man who is gracious to him. The contrast will then be between partial 'grace' or kindness, and thoroughgoing reliableness or trustworthiness.
