Vers. 30. Hee shall deliver the Island of the Innocent, and it is deliver'd by the purenes of thine hands.

:931p. 289

The promise is continued to the man that returns to God, He shall deliver the Island of the Innocent; or as some translate, the Innocent shall deliver the Island. The sense is the same; He shall deliver the Island, that is, the Inhabitants of the Island; All shall be safe, the Island and they that dwell in it. There is another reading of the Text, which yet falls in fully and clearly with this; whereas we read, He shall deliver the Island of the Innocent, ¹it may be read, He shall deliver him that is not Innocent. Now because this may seem a very wide difference in the translation, we are to Consider the ground of it, how this can be made out, that the same text should be rendered, the Innocent, and him that is not Innocent? The reason is because the word which we translate, Island, is taken by many of the Hebrew Doctors,² as also by other translators, only for a negative particle, signifying not or that which is not. So the word is rendered (1 Sam. 4.21.) when Phinehas his wife dying in travel gave the name to her Child, she said, He shall be called Ichabod, There is no glory, or not glory. And again, (Pro. 31.4.) the word is used in the same sense; It is not for Kings O Lemuel, to drink wine; strong drink is not for Princes. So here, Thou shalt deliver the nocent, or the not Innocent. And so the whole verse is thus translated; God, because of or for the pureness of thy hands, will deliver the nocent, or those who are not innocent. Whereas we say, Thou shalt deliver the Island of the Innocent, or the Innocent shall deliver the Island.
