32

Hurai of the brooks of Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite,

ExplanationCommentary
EXPLANATION

Verse 32. Hurai, rather than Heddai, (2 Kennicott. Ken.) though there is some doubt which is to be preferred. Bible.—Syr. and Arab. have Hiddai; but the Septuagint declare for Hurai here, and the Aldine copy has Ouri also. 2 Kennicott. Ken.—Torrent. Hebrew “of the torrents or vales of Gaas.” Calmet.—Abiel. 2 Kennicott. Abailbon, which seems to be the right word, as a transcriber may omit letters more easily than he can insert them. Bun and the end seems to have been written separate, and to have been translated “the son of,” by Syr. and Arab. The particles al and ál, have also been frequently mistaken on account of their nearly similar pronunciation.—Bauramite. Hebrew habacharumi, 2 Kennicott. habarchumi, where two letters are transposed, and v is omitted, as usual, in the latter book. Bible.—The former reading appears to be more correct, as the hero probably came from Bahurim, (bérim, 2 Kennicott. 3:16) and the Syr. and Arab. seem to have read correctly.—Salabonite. Septuagint Σαλαβωνιτης (2 Kennicott.) Σαλαβωνι. Ken.—The translator of the latter book gives the Hebrew termination throughout, instead of the Greek; ( Bible.) “whence the learned have drawn an unanswerable argument against that version’s being the work of the same author.” Ken.—They might as well prove that S. Jerom did not translate both these books. Bible.
