I j - c'Eha Croucher at tlie Door. i'.lV S This passage, confessedly a diffi ctilt one, consists of three sentences or phrases; whieh enr Ant.Kmn' Vereiori renders thus: (1.) If thou weu,; snait tnou toc - be ac cfpted?:V f2.)And itthon ,dnpt not well, ein lieth at the door.".(3.V ... uuiw uoc Biiuit'vu uis uesire, aind thou shalt rule over him." In the first of' these . KP.ntAnnoa Nothing tordetain us. l By common- vpnsent tne literal translation of the 'Hebrew is: fcIf thou doest well, is there' not' a lifing- up ?" L e a lifting up of 'Cain's fallen counte nance ; and its sense is ' sufliciently given in. our English' 'Bible. Y The difiicalty is- start; d-.by- the third sentence, and, and is only to be solved, I believe, by an amended translation of the second 4 Through out the verse Jehovah - is represent ed, as remonstrating with anry jealous Cain ; and in its final sen tence Cain Is assured or warned, f Unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.". . Whose desire is to be to Cain? over whom is he to rule ?, In this question, lies the difficulty of the passage. i The answer ". to it which was com monly accepted in '.England, half a century ago could surely have orig inated only in "the most aristocrat ic church in Christendom." It held that : the,, right of primogeni ture" waa taught inl the sentence, and affirmed that it" was Abel's de sire which was' to be unto Cain, that it was Abel, the - younger brother,' Over whom Cain, the elder brother was to rule.:,. This answer is utterly madmissible; and that for two rea-. sons. It makts bad grammar, and it makes Dad senseAYv' . , . ; j It makes bad grammar of the sentence, v.For a pronoan should agree with, and point back rtoX an immediately antecedent noun. The pronouns 4his'; .and "him"Vin the closing phrase "of the verse baght' therefore toJ refer . to a noun in5 the foregoing --i phrase. Y But we fflU6t 1 count back : seven ..ompto sentences before, in verse 4,' we light upon the name of Abel. - And to leap over , the intervening .nouns ;and l " participles - in ' this lashiotf is, to say the . least of ; iti: a very tsu jTious feat of grammatical gymnas tics. The reading makes bad sense ;as well as bd grammar. ; The right tot. primogeniture is, is after 'all, a somewhat questionable right " But were it never so Unquestionable, : if ,it,be taught hertyit is iurelv taught ""very much but of reason andinsm-r gularly .. extravagant terms. Folr -lowing' and confirming the jfaw of nature, Holy Scripture., commonly speaks of a young mans desire as toward his bride, not toward his ibrother: it commonly teaches, not that the elder, is to -trule" the youn ger son, but that ooth are to be in subjection to; their .paredts. :; The stoutest advocates of i the righV of primogeniture . might well - hesitate . to declare that the firstb jrn ' way to rule over his juniors as ajhuaband over his wife, a father over his chil dren, or even a chief over his dan. Nor, even, if this right were to ..be pushed'.and sanctioned to its utter most verge, is this, the place in which we should .fook for a formal expression of it;' Jehovah is pieai ing with-Cain against the murder? oua-anger which-was rising in ; hia breast aad.vhurryingAiax pn.;to;a deed most .foul and- JQnnatural. And .wo.at can be more incongruous, w bat mbre absu'i"d;ti3fan' to suppose this solemn merciful remknstranoe rising to its climax in, an utterly ir relevant remark about th law ot primogeniture?,..,., v.; .... t Y -. Both on i grammatical and criti cal grounds, we must, I think' pro nounce this reading of the passage to be quite inadmissible. "Driven from one untenable position,-"certain expositors have taken up. an other i They, have adopted Light foot's interpretation, which does not so "much as touch the "real difilculty in the case. Lighfuot proposed to read for "sin lieth at the door,"-'a sin-offering lieth at thy door.," It is a sufficient ubjectioa to this emen dation, that, , though - the Hebrew word came to mean sin-offering'' as well as 6in)w yet as sin-offerings," in the technical sense, were still two thousand years distant; it is not allowable td introduce a tetihnicaU ty of the Mosaic ritual into the his tory of the Adamic lamily.. More over, - tne proposed emendation throws no light where we most need ligM : it.in no way helps to decide ;wno8e desire is to be unto' Cain, over whom it is that Cain is to rule; r We are therefore shut up to a third reading which is sanctioned by most Hebrew scholars of modern times ; -by Geseuius, Kalisch, Eeil and Delitzch, and Lange, with many mora They say that the Hebrew word, which the Authorized Ver sion translates "lieth at,",' is the participial form of a word -which means to lie down, to reclinej" and is specially used of beasts of prey who crouch before they spring : that the participle in Hebrew, as in most other languages, is often used substantively : that it is used substantively here : and that there-, fore we ought to translate the second sentence of the passage, If thou doest not well, sin is a lier in wait " or, better still, because in a single word, sin is a croucher" "at the door." That is to say, . the Divine warning to Cain is, that sin crouches before his ' heart like a will beast larking about a tent, waiting itsop- pcrtunity to Epriag. ia. Taken thus, we get the miooins: c Y : ; . 1-i for C.3 f . cf Ca i t ' 3 1 ' permits. -' The two . read;. "If thou doest croucher at the door '; and hit de- sire is agdmst thee(i croucli-'-- er s desu;e), but thou shoulicst rala 'ii over Jum'v With these emendon the passage yields a clear enmmat- , ical order ; the" pronouns uhia" and a -f tiirn' point back to "the Croucher" - v of the; foregoing; phrase. And the . sense 13 as clear, as the t grammar. " Ihe Divine remonstrance mounts to a true climax -Cain is warned that, while he is nursing , his .anry ial ous thoughts, Sin -Hke a ravening ' beast, as crafty aa .it ia . cmelis crouching " outside the , door of his . heart, enly waiting for the door to'Y be opened by any crouch "of passion,! to spring ia : and he is admonished -to keep the door shut lest he be over come of evil: He is warned that tbV:t S'esireiof the: sin, which' looks so , fair and tempting to the eye stained and discolored by passion, ia against .y him, that hia only safety consists ia" " subduing and ruling over it."
