Synopsis

Excerpt from The Book of Proverbs: Critical Edition of the Hebrew Text, With Notes

In his [ahrbiicher fur Bibl. W'iss., II (1863) pp. Ew. Regarded these verses as an original element in Proverbs, adding a retranslation into Hebrew; but in the second edition of his Salomonische Schriften (go'ttingen, 1867) there is not a word about them, so he seems to have himself given up all belief in their originality. Certainly, both the structure, with its lack of exact parallelism or clean cut antithesis, and the thought, with its wild and in part absurd ex aggerations in the sixth hemistich, are at variance with the spirit of the Hebrew Book of Proverbs. Baumg. Finds additional arguments against the originality of this section in the prolix development of the same thought and in the fact that these verses are omitted in the other Versions.
