Note 264 — Chapter III · THEORY AND PRAXIS OF THE TEXTUAL CRITICISM OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.[129] (continued 2)
William Edie translation
בער is explained as the Hebrew form of the Aramaic בעור by C. B. Michaelis (De Paronomasia, § 30); Hiller, Onomasticum, 1706, p. 536; and Bernardus (in Marck, In praecipuas quasdam partes Pentateuchi Commentarius, Leyden, 1713, 366). Marck himself makes it the equivalent of פתור. M. M. Kalish, Bible Studies, i. The prophecies of Bileam, London, 1877, contributes nothing to the solution of the question.
