Rashi

Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki (Rashi)

And wealth and honor are from before you from Your hand. “Honor” applies to wealth, as it is written (Nahum 2:10): “Plunder silver! Plunder gold! etc.” And like (Gen 31:1): “... and from what belonged to our father he amassed all this wealth (הַכָּבוֹד).” That is to say that all the wealth that I have amassed is from You, for “You rule over all, and in Your hand is strength and might, etc.”

1 Chronicles, in the Historical, opens this verse with 13 words (11 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is ʻôsher (“riches”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. The word ʻôsher carries the sense “riches.” How does it shape the verse?
  2. How does Genesis 31:16, which shares the word «riches», read alongside this verse?
  3. What does the repetition of “all” (2× in this one verse) do in this verse?
  4. These translations render this verse differently; the difference is in the English rendering, not the original. What questions does that raise?
  5. «מוֹשֵׁ֣ל» is a Qal Participle Active verb. How does that grammatical form shape the action described?
  6. Compare how Trapp's Complete Commentary and Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
