Dear members,
I've got 2 questions for you:
1. Is the word "אַהֲבַתאַהֲבַת אַהֲבַת אַהֲבַת " a noun or a verb? How could we
translate (literally) these sentences:
כִּי-אַהֲבַת
נַפְשׁוֹ, אֲהֵבוֹ
(because love [noun] himself, he loved him - Samuel 1, 20, 17 - by the way, the
"ki" does mean "because", doesn't it?)
כְּאַהֲבַת
יְהוָה, אֶת-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל
(like love [noun] the Lord the sons of Israel - Hosea 3, 1)
וְאַהֲבַת עוֹלָם
אֲהַבְתִּיךְ
(and love [noun] forever I love you - Jeremiah 31, 3)
2. What is the meaning of the word "אַךְ"? Sometimes it is translated by
"however", sometimes by "yes":
אַךְ-בָּשָׂר, בְּנַפְשׁוֹ דָמוֹ לֹא תֹאכֵלוּ
(Genesis 9, 4 - however)
אַךְ-בְּצֶלֶם יִתְהַלֶּךְ אִישׁ
(Psalmאַהֲבַת אַהֲבַת "אַהֲבַת 39, 7 - yes)
Many thanks in advance.
Sébastien Louis
