¿Por qué mi Biblia dice algo distinto?
- Hebreos 11:21 y Génesis 47:31: ¿el bastón de Jacob o la cama de Jacob?
En el texto hebreo de Génesis 47:31, Israel se inclina «sobre la cabecera de la cama». En la Septuaginta se inclina «sobre la punta de su bastón», y Hebreos 11:21 cita el griego. Las consonantes hebreas pueden leerse de ambas maneras; solo las vocales, añadidas más tarde, deciden. La Iglesia ortodoxa lee «bastón», y san Juan Damasceno usó el versículo al defender la veneración de las cosas santas.
Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
"Few and evil have the days of the years of my life been," said Jacob, and elsewhere "all the days of my life." Thus under the form of history the law is laid down for what is to follow.
