ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).
Since the flesh (Wis. 9:15) — as food not yet purged by the appointed measure of death — weighs down the mind that ponders many things, and hinders the sight that discerns but few, yet the dignity of things to come shines through in certain deeds, and the splendor of immortal secrets gleams even upon mortal eyes by rare revelation. But this only for those whom flesh alone, and not carnality, holds, and whom worldly cohabitation does not defile, being clean of heart. Just as heavenly converse was once granted to the law-giving prophet; and he was so far endowed with a certain vision of divine glory, that something horned upon his smooth brow seemed to have been brought forth not by harshness, but by brightness.
