An astute overview of Genesis in the Hebrew translation with an emphasis on grammar, C. H. H.

CHAP. 14 1. בימי א׳. “In the days of Amraphel”. Vulg. wrongly “factum est in illo tempore ut”, followed by Dathe; LXX. ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῇ Ἀμαρφὰλ βασιλέως. The etymology of the proper names in this verse is very doubtful. Von Bohlen derives אמרפל and אריוך from the Sanskrit amarapâla (worshipper of the gods) and âryaka (venerable). גיים seems here to be a proper name; comp. Josh. 12:23. Onkelos and LXX. “the king of nations”, and so our A. V.; Aquila βασιλεὺς Πὁντου, and Symm. βασιλεὺς
