Opis: The Book of Esther, a New Translation - Club Lowell Hebrew

Excerpt from The Book of Esther, a New Translation: With Critical Notes, Excursuses, Maps and Plans, and Illustrations

It falls to me as a kind of right to pen this preface. The Hebrew Club, whose work appears in this volume, first met in my study, and began its work somewhat at my suggestion. What is said as to the personnel of the Club may satisfy the curiosity of the reader, as well as encourage other ministers similarly situated to combine for the more thorough study of the Book of books.

Nine years ago we began to meet once a week to read the Old Testament Scriptures in their original tongue. There is something about this grand old language which attracts the lover of sacred things, a heavenly rhythm which fills and inspires his soul, and enables him to say, I love thy law." There is a divine sweetness in the very words in which that law was written. After two years of such pleasurable work we commenced to publish in one of our city newspapers the results of our study, in the shape of a weekly exposition of the International Series of Sunday-school Lessons. These expositions, furnished by members of the Club in turn, continued two and one half years, being generally read in this city, and extensively copied into the newspapers of other cities.
