BY DR. CLIFTON HARBT LEVY.
tThe writer of this article, a New York
Kabbl, reviews the important work
of the new translators from the view
point of a Hebrew scholar.)
EVERYONE knows that the Old
Testament was written in Hebrew
by the Jews. Many know that
the authorized English version was
'adopted under King James I of Eng
land in 1611. and that It was done by
Christian scholars. Naturally it has
been frequently asked: "Why do not
the Jews make an English version of
their own scripture, for surely they
ought to know the meaning of the
Hebrew better than any other schol
ars V
It Is In answer to this question and
to the demand on the part of the Jews
themselves for a correct translation of
the Old Testament that the work of
translating the Bible was undertaken
by a body of representative Jewish
scholars of the United States some nine
years ago, and only now has the new
version been published by the Jewish
Publication Society, of Philadelphia.
The Call far New Effort.
Many Christian scholars had felt the
seed of a new translation of the Bible,
holding that scholarship had advanced
considerably since the authorized ver
sion was made, and as a result came
a the revised version at the close of
the 19th century, but this has not
sained wide acceptance, perhaps be
cause, as it has been frequently argued.
It did not go far enough in correcting
the palpable errors of the older ren
dering. The Jewish scholars, brought up on
the Hebrew Bible, filled with the study
of ancient commentaries in Hebrew,
. and utilizing the best results of modern
scholarship, ougrht to be in a position
to give It a really truthful rendering
of the original text, if any body of
scholars can. The version now pre
sented to' the world will doubtless
arouse considerable criticism, but with
Its alteration of nearly 60.000 passages
much food for thought is offered.
The translators went back to the
original Hebrew text, but they were
wise enough not to cast aside the
masterly English of the authorized
version, retaining its diction perfectly,
and only altering it where it fails to
convey the true meaning of the orig
inal or uses obsolete English words
which the modern reader does not un
derstand correctly.
We cannot be certain of the language
In which the earlier parts of the Bible
was written. While many still believe
that Genesis and the other earlier books
were written in Hebrew, there are
some who hold, and with considerable
evidence on their side, that the lan
guage In which Moses and the earlier
writers wrote down their part of the
Bible was the Cuneiform, the wedge
shaped characters of Babylonia. At
the head of these scholars stands
Professor Edouard Xaville. a profound
student of Semitic languages, who has
dug in the sands of Egypt for many
years and brought forth many wonder
ful discoveries of the age of Mosea He
states emphatically that the Cuneiform
via the sacred language of that time
and country, and that its use explains
the statements In the Bible that "God
wrote" so and so, because this "holy
script waa kept for holy writings
It was In thia acrlpt, according to him.
that Moses wrote down the Ten Com
mandments, and only in later ages. In
the time of Kara, were these and the

other laws which he had written down,
translated or .reproduced. In what we
now call Hebrew letters, for the lan
guage was much the same, the Baby
lonian being considered the great orig
inal Semitic tongue, out of which the
other grew later.
Quoting Still Older Books.
In the Old Testament books there
are many allusions to still older books
of which all knowledge Is lost. For
example. In Numbers xil:K. we read:
"It is said In the book of the wars of
the Lord." plainly referring to some
book existing at that time, but now
lost. In which was recorded much of
the adventures of Israel.
In the book of Joshua, after telling
in poetic form how the "sun stood
still," the authority is given: "Is not
this written in the book of Jasher." a
work which must have been well known
then, but of which we know nothing
more.
The difficulties with which the
translator from the Hebrew has to
contend are hardly appreciated by
those who never looked into a Hebrew
Bible, especially a manuscript or copy
without the vowel-points. For the un
initiated It must be stated that tn
Hebrew vowels are not considered true
letters, and only consonants are uti
lized for Indicating words. The vowels
are omitted in print, as a rule. Just as
the expert shorthand writer omits
vowels, the scholar being supposed to
be able to supply the necessary vowels,
according to the consonants appearing.
and the sense of the verse or passage.
Suppose that in English you had to
read a sentence like this: "THT MKS
MN RGHTS." We might guess that it
should be read: "That makes men
righteous." But someone might say
that MKS should be read "marks." that
MN should be read "man" and that
RGHTS should be read "rights" instead
of righteous, and we would have: "That
marks man rights, which might be
held to suggest an altogether different
idea from the first reading of the un
voweled sentence. This kind of read
ing Is utterly foreign to the reader
of English, French or any of the lan
guages to which we are accustomea,
but the student of the Semitic lan
guages is quite accustomed to dealing
with this problem and from his knowl
edge of grammar and studj of various
texts he is more or less sure of the
proper vowels to be placed beneath
the consonants in the text- Yet the
absence of vowels leads to many dif
ferences of opinion, for a difference in
the vowel may change a past into a
future tense of a verb, or may alter the
significance of a sentence materially.
Task ( the New Editors.
There are other difficulties In the
Hebrew text. Some of the consonants
are very much alike in shape. The
Hebrew T is very much like R. the H
like CH. the CH like V. If the reader
vowel a word wrong he may-change
the meaning of the word and sentence.
Considering all this, the difficulties
facing the translator from the Hebrew
are not a few. Tradition has helped to
fix some of the readings, but modern
scholarship at times steps In and says
that the traditional reading is incor
rect, and the reading of D for R will
give a far better meaning to a special
passage.
The task of the editors of this new
version was therefore very great, and
scholars as well as laymen will be In
terested in the results.
Dr. Max L. Margolis, of Dropsle Col
lege, Philadelphia, has done the major
part of the work, but a board of edi
tors, consisting of Drs. Schechter.
Kohler, Jacobs, Schulman. Adler and
Phillipson. representing all of the Jew
ish institutions of learning In the
United States, have passed upon all
the work, and especially upon all the
disputed or questionable renderings.
It is to be remarked that the text
is printed in paragraphs, as it appears
in the original Hebrew, tbua avoiding
the very confusing breaking up of the
sense, as is done by the division into
verses, in the usual versiona

quired, thus removing one of the great
difficulties In understanding passages
where different apeakera are con
cerned. To give aome Idea of the character
of the changea in thia new version we
may cite a few Instances. In the very
first chapter of Genesis, verse 2, the
old version had "the spirit of God
moved upon the face of the waters."
The new version reads: "The spirit of
God hovered over the face of the
waters," which seems to me a far finer
picture, and truer to the original He
brew. In the third chapter? of Genesis,
verse 7. the older version read: "And
they sewed fig-leaves together and
made themselves aprons." while In the
new version we read "girdles" instead
of aprons, the translation of the
Hebrew, and at the same time Indi
cating a very much mora natural way
of sewing the leaves together one
practiced by many savage tribes to this
day.
The Isaiah Prophecy.
One highly significant rendering Is
of a passage In Isaiah, a passage which
has long been held to be the basis for
the Christian dogma of the "Immacu
late Conception." It is that famous
14th verse of the seventh chapter:
. "Behold a virgin shall conceive snd
bear a son, and shall call his name Im
manuel." In the new version it reads:
"Behold, the young woman shall con
ceive." This passage Is referred to in
Matt. 1:23; Luke 1:31-34, being quoted
literally In Matthew, but referred to by
Luke. Christian scholars of our day
agree that the older version is incor
rect- The Hebrew word is "Ha'almah"
and was translated In the earliest
Greek version, the Septuagint (250
B. C.) by the Greek word "Parthenos."
which means "Virgin," and therefore
opened the way for a perpetuation of
the error by those who did not go to
the original Hebrew, but relied upon
the Greek version when translating
into a modern tongue. " t
One of the greatest Christian
scholars, who did much to advance the
study of Hebrew among his coreligion
ists was Gesenius, and In his Lexicon
he states unequivocally that virgin Is
mistranslation for the Hebrew, and
that if the Hebrew writer had wished
to indicate a virgin he would have used
quite a different word, "Bethulah" and
not "Almah." The "Ha" In the Hebrew
prefixed to "Almah" means "the," and
in the old version was not translated.
while In the new version it is correctly
given, indicating that the Prophet Isaiah
had a special young woman in mind,
one living in his day, of whom he ex
pected the Messiah would be born, or
at least a descendant of David worthy
to sit upon his throne and re-establish
the Jewish commonwealth. There are
many other mistakes in the Septuagint,

the action as to the song.
We are not accustomed to look at
Vloletta as a role of great subtlety,
yet Miss Craft made it marvellously so
made it one of the utmost refinement
in every artistic detail, and there was
no moment when she was out of the
picture, no detail, however slight, es
caped her. It was a wonderful Imper
sonation and it is doubtful If on the
dramatic stage today there Is an act
ress who could equal It.
So far as her singing was concerned
she achieved her own highest level,
one which would have graced the
Metropolitan stage even better than
it did the small auditorium of the
Forty-fourth-Street Theater. The audi
ence, quick to recognize the master
piece which was laid open before them,
greeted ' her rapturously and one
ovation followed the other. Nona, in
deed, was mora telling than when the
entire orchestra at the close of the first
act arose in a body to pay tribute to
her achievement.

the earlleat Greek veralon, as was to
be expected in that early period, espe
cially as the work of translation was
done by foreign scholars at the behest
of the Egyptian King.
When you stop to consider that the
neglect to translate a single syllable
"like "Ha," meaning "The," helps to in
crease an error, what Is to be said of
many other more or less careless er
rors, which are easily possible in trans
lating from a manuscript in which no
vowel signs appear? Or If the trans
lator happened to have a version with
the vowel signs, these might mislead
him, because of a very slight error
made by a Copyist. A single dot like a
period (.) gives the sound of B when
beneath a letter. The same dot when
over a letter has the Sound of O and
when in the center of the letter V has
the sound OO. How easy it is for a
writer of shorthand to confuse himself
by placing a dot In the wrong place
every stenographer knows, but the old
Hebrew scribe could make confusion
strictly on the pitch, was as good as
some who have sung it in larger
houses, and Joseph Royer. the young
Canadian baritone, again aroused con
siderable enthusiasm by his clever
handling of the part of Germont
Senior. Others in the parts were
Frances Morosini, Alice Homer, Antonio
Cetti snd Natale Cervl. The conductor,
Cerlo Peroni, deserves more than pass
ing mention for what be has accom
plished in the way of general excellency
of the performance.

Mary Garden, idol of the opera-goers

what she has done for them directly
and indirectly, has returned to this
country full of life and enthusiasm and
still more profoundly moved to pity
than ever before. Miss Garden, tempt

Miss Garden has given her entire
time and life to relief work In France.
She turned over one of her homes as
a hospital and she has been ministering
to the physical needs of the wounded
men with every sou which was hers to
command. She has had some memorable
performances in opera, it is true, all
however, inspired by the needs of the

people she had grown to love with all
the intensity that is possible to a na

But Mary Garden comes back to her

to take up any of her regular opera or

herself to singing in the camps

"the boys" songs that she picked up in

Hats off to the management of the
Strand Theater for the-first move that
has been made in the direction of fos

by the engagement of Adriano Arianl.
who immediately proved himself a cap
able. Intelligent, poetic musician, able
to deliver both classic and romantic
music in a manner that should satisfy
the critical musician as well as those
further down the line.
The programme was arranged with
all becoming dignity and the enthusi
asm with which it was received on
Monday at the opening was sufficient
proof that it was a happy idea. It is
quite unlikely that Harold Edel set the
task for himself of raising the stand
ards of music among the masses, but
with a master-stroke he accomplished it
without making anyone feel a class dis
tinction, without emphasizing the edu
cational side, without asking for en
dowment or assistance. He is certainly
preparing the greatest number of peo
ple for the enjoyment of the Boston
Symphony, Philharmonic and New York
symphony concerts of any one individ
ual that has ever figured in the musi
cal uplift of this country, and hla en
terprise should be accorded the recep
