Deskripsi

In all polish translations of Ez 34, 16 there appears a statement about God’s „watching over” (šmr) of fat and strong sheep. This rendering derives not from masoretic text but from tradition (LXX, Vulgate, Jakub Wujek Bible). But is this rendering justified? This article attempts to convince that we should stay with hebrew šmd (“to destroy”).
