Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(6) Fourfold.--In exact accordance with the Law (Exodus 22:1; comp. Luke 19:8). The LXX. (in most copies "sevenfold," comp. Proverbs 6:31) and the Chaldee ("fortyfold") have expressed more of human indignation; but David knew the Law too well to change its terms.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewBecauseעֵ֗קֶב (‘ê·qeḇ)ConjunctionStrong's 6118: A heel, the last of anything, result, compensation, on account ofhe has doneעָשָׂה֙ (‘ā·śāh)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 6213: To do, makethisהַזֶּ֔ה (haz·zeh)Article | Pronoun - masculine singularStrong's 2088: This, thatthingהַדָּבָ֣ר (had·dā·ḇār)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1697: A word, a matter, thing, a causeand shown noלֹֽא־ (lō-)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, nopity,חָמָֽל׃ (ḥā·māl)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 2550: To commiserate, to sparehe must payיְשַׁלֵּ֣ם (yə·šal·lêm)Verb - Piel - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 7999: To be safe, to be, completed, to be friendly, to reciprocatefor the lambהַכִּבְשָׂ֖ה (hak·kiḇ·śāh)Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 3535: Ewe lambfour times over.”אַרְבַּעְתָּ֑יִם (’ar·ba‘·tā·yim)Number - fdStrong's 706: FourfoldJump to PreviousCompassion Ewe-Lamb Four Fourfold Lamb Pay Pity Repay Restitution Restore Times Value
