In the 49. Psalm, David, as it were, summons and divides mankind. In the first verse he summons, Hear this all ye people, give ear all ye inhabitants of the world. In the second verse he divides,1 Both low and high, rich and poor together. The word in the Hebrew for high, is Been-Ish, sons of Ish, and the word for low, is Been-Adam, sons of Adam. If we should translate the Text directly, according to the letter, the words must run, sons of men and sons of men, for, sons of Adam and sons of Ish are both translated sons of men. Yet when they are set together in a way of opposition, the one signifieth low and the other high; and so our Translators render it according to the sense, not ⟨p. 21⟩sons of men and sons of men, but low and high. Junius translates to this sense, though in more words, as well they who are borne of mean men, as they who are borne of the honourable.
In the 49. Psalme, David, as it were, summons and divides mankind. In the first verse he summons, Heare this all ye people, give eare all ye inhabitants of the world. In the second verse he divides,1 Both low and high, rich and poore together. The word in the Hebrew for high, is Bene-Ish, sons of Ish, and the word for low, is Bene-Adam, sonnes of Adam. If we should translate the Text directly, according to the letter, the words must runne, sonnes of men and sonnes of men, for, sonnes of Adam and sonnes of Ish are both translated sonnes of men. Yet when they are set together in a way of opposition, the one signifieth low and the other high; and so our Translators render it according to the sense, not ⟨p. 21⟩sonnes of men and sons of men, but low and high. Junius translates to this sence, though in more words, as well they who are borne of meane men, as they who are borne of the honourable.
