Wybunbury, Nantwich.
If E. M. B. will refer to Hengstenberg's _Commentary on the Psalms_, he
will find that Mr. Trench is not without authority for his translation of
Ps. cxxvii. 2. I quote the passage from Thompson and Fairbairn's
translation, in Clark's _Theological Library_, vol. iii. p. 449.:
"[Hebrew: SHN'] for [Hebrew: SHNH] is not the accusative, but the
preposition is omitted, as is frequently the case with words that are
in constant use. For example, [Hebrew: BQR, `RB], to which [Hebrew:
SHNH] here is poetically made like. The exposition _He gives sleep_,
instead of _in sleep_, gives an unsuitable meaning. For the subject is
not about the sleep, but the gain."
