The original of this obscure clause is {ish shilcho hammayim,}
which is rendered by Montanus, {vir missile suum aquas,} "a
man his dart to the waters," of which it is difficult to make
sense. It is wholly omitted by the LXX.; and one of De
Rossi's MSS. reads, {meshallachah ƒl hammayim,} "in order to
send them to the water."
