Some would put another sense on that Expression of the Targumists, as though it intended nothing but God himself; and instances of the use of it in that sense have been observed. As Eccles. 8. v. 17. If a wise man say [Greek or Hebrew] in his word, that is, say in himself; Gen. 6. v. 6. It repented the Lord [Greek or Hebrew] in his word; Also Ruth 3. v. 8. is urged to give countenance unto this suspicion; As did Paltiel the Son of Laish, who placed his sword [Greek or Hebrew]; between his Word and Michal the daughter of Saul the Wife of David. But (1.) The former places use not the word [Greek or Hebrew] which is peculiar unto the sense contended for; (2.) The Targums on the Hagiographa are a late Postalmudical endeavour, made in imitation of those of Onkelos and Ben Uzziel, when the Jews had lost both all sense of their old Traditions, and use of the Chaldee Language, any other than what they learned from those former Paraphrases. Nothing therefore can hence be concluded as to the intention of the Targumists in these words. And they can have no other sense in that of Psalm 110. v. 1. [Greek or Hebrew]; The Lord said in, or to his word; for, to my Lord, as in the Original.
