There are many words in the Hebrew language that contain a complex of many ideas in one, ranging from one meaning to its opposite, so that the meaning cannot be understood except from the context, and this from the inner content, differently than in the case of other languages. The reason for this is that they were steeped in symbolism, so that a single general idea of theirs was too complex for them to arrive at inward things, because this was their nature. 1748, 15 Aug.
