Description

Excerpt from Journal of the American Oriental Society, 1918, Vol. 38 V. 4: the transliteration of this verse is uncertain. The text Without emendation makes tolerable Syriac, hit 54] We (any) one committing impiety he caused to fall into the Void.' Against the most serious Objection tothis reading, namely the use of the case absolute M's-5 Degrees without M, one might allege that the case is determined by the indefinite idea contributed by the of the preceding line. Moreover, this is good Valen tinian doctrine.

Nevertheless, the difficulties involved in the acceptance of this reading are to me insuperable. (1) The introduction of a new idea at the Opening of the phrase by the case absolute is intolerably harsh. (2) It is not probable that nepeea represents S's for in no other case is the silent wa given a vowel, e. G. Xeodnv, aepm, aanw, avgbeic (for the three apparent exceptions see the note on V. (3) The meaning of the verse would be inappropriate to the con text. It would ascribe to the Celestial Light the function of removing the results of sin from the Pleroma, while in the second stanza that function is expressly ascribed to the Celestial Firma ment. It is true that the Firmament is but an aspect of the Light (see p. But the very aim of these two stanzas is the discrimination of the Light and the Firmament by means of their functions, how then could the same function be ascribed to both?
