Excerpt from Inquiries Concerning the Structure of the Semitic Languages, Vol. 1 In the middle of the last century, Bishop Lowth, in his Lectures on the Sacred Poetry of the Hebrews, having occa Sion to notice one of the chief difficulties of the subject, complained that interpreters of the Hebrew text, in their endeavours to escape from that difficulty, were driven to translate according to their own apprehension of the meaning rather than according to laws of Grammar, or any fixed principles. Writers on Grammar, he said, did indeed note the fact, but were unwilling to confess their inability to explain it: they attempted to hide their ignorance under a veil of technical terms. He could not believe that those unexplained variations of structure were introduced at random; on the contrary, it was beyond doubt that they had in them some special force and fitness. It was not to be wondered at, that many of them appeared to us now intricate and obscure, considering the remote antiquity of the Hebrew language.
