Fishpools

fishpools: This is a mistranslation. The Hebrew , berekhoth (Son 7:4) simply means pools (Revised Version); fish is quite unwarrantably introduced in the King James Version. In Isa 19:10, again, instead of all that make sluices and ponds for fish (the King James Version), we should certainly read, with the Revised Version (British and American), All they that work for hire shall be grieved in soul.

Fishpools

Son 7:4 (b) This is a poetic figure of the enticing beauty of the clear, deep eyes of the lover, so full of expression and passion.
