Psalms 22:16
dogs <03611> [dogs.]
surround <05437> [compassed.]
gang <05712> [assembly.]
pin <03738> [they pierced.]
The textual reading is {ka„ri,} "as a lion my hands and feet;" but several MSS., read {kƒroo,} and others {karoo} in the margin, which affords the reading adopted by our translators. So the LXX. [oryxan cheiras mou kai podas,] so also the Vulgate, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic; and as all the Evangelists so quote the passage, and apply it to the crucifixion of Christ, there seems scarcely the shadow of a doubt that this is the genuine reading; especially when it is considered, that the other contains no sense at all. The whole difference lies between [vƒv] {wav} and [y“wd,] {yood,} which might easily be mistaken for each other.
Psalms 22:20
life <05315> [soul.]
<03173> [my darling, etc. Heb. my only one from the hand.]
dogs <03611> [the dog.]
