Plain, Plainly
Plain, Plainly
plan, planli: In Gen 25:27, the King James Version plain represents , tam. If a contrast between the vocations of Jacob and Esau is meant, the Revised Version (British and American) (quiet, margin harmless) may be right. But elsewhere (Job 1:1; Psa 37:37, etc.) the word means perfect, and so probably here; the failings of the great patriarch did not detract from the general estimate of him (Mat 8:11). In Ezr 4:18 translated (Revised Version margin) is better than plainly read.
