Ego Chap. 4e. teln Expofition upon the Book, of J o B. Vert. 23 word is fo taken, efpecially where the word canbe no otherwife taken, as in the fenfe of thefe Trznflators it cannot be in this place ; for they taking Behemoth to be the agent in both parts of the verte, as ago the River in the former part, and Jordan in the latter, to be patients, could not fufpofe anyotherwife of thole words, than that they are of the accufativeCafe ; whereas Bo., chartes taking Behemoth to be the patient, and the River in the former parr, as alto Jordan in the latter part of the verle, to fu- Rain the placeof Agents, muft.needs fuppofe the contrary. Secondly, faith he,.Thofe words (ita ut) fo that, are not in the Hebrew. I anfwer, fuch is the concifenefs of the Hebrew tongue, that ail Tranflators make u;e of forne fitting words (which they diflinguith from the pure Text, by a different charadter in print- ing and writing) to clear up the fenfe of the Text in the notion of their tranflacion. Thirdly, he faith, The word rendred to 114en, figni- fieth not to haften limply, but to haften for fear.

Further, I. may* add, that this word which lignifies to, haften for fear, is rendredalfo: barely 'to fear ; and why not then barely to haften? The one tranflation leav- ing out the former part of the full fenfe, as . the other Both the latter part of it. The fourth exception refpe&s only the phrafe or manner of fpeech ufed in that eradiation, as not yielding a commodious fente. I (hall fay no morebut this to ir; that when either man or beaft drinks, he doth both draw out: anddraw-in, he draweth the liquor out of the veffel, and into his mouth. Fifthly, 'Tis faire, the word ufed by fob, lignifies neither to educe or draw out, nor ro induct or draw in, but to break forth, as appears (Job 38. 8. Judg. 20.33. Dan., .7. z.) It doth fo in thole three places nowmentioned; yet all the Lexicographers which I have fees; render the Verb (educere as well as cram- pert) by a word fignifying the force of another, drawing out a chine 11'1`1 ..
