WORDS OF CURRENT INTEREST

[The words in this issue are related to the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly designated to be read in Christian Science churches on March 10, 1963.]

The Lord weigheth the spirits (Prov. 16:2)

The Hebrew verb takan is used in a variety of senses, including not only "weigh" but also "determine," "measure," or "test"; while the noun literally rendered "spirits" is used in the singular in such senses as "breath," "disposition," or "spirit of the living breathing thing." Hence Smith translates, "The Lord weighs the motives"; and Moffatt, "The Eternal has the verdict on his life."
