Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Commentary: On the Books of Yôél, 'Amòs, Hoséa, and "Zakharya,"
In obedience to the same principle of presenting as close a representation of the Hebrew as was possible, Ewald aban doued the ordinary German orthography of Hebrew proper names and gave them to his German reader in their original form. The only exception he made to this rule was the few names which have been made current in their Greek form, 6. G. Messias, Jerusalem. In the English translation no departure has been made from the original in this respect. The only change is the substitution of the letter y for the German j, and in the word Yahve' the addition of a dash to the final e to indi cate that it is vocal. In quotation, however, the retention of the common English orthography was thought less likely to confuse.
