Prof. Strong was a Methodist Biblical scholar. "I offer no apology for attempting to turn this venerable piece into English verse, since a metrical dress is the only one that can suitably clothe its poetic conceptions. ... and the intertocution - although wholly ignored by the Jewish editors, and almost entirely by the Christian translators - is now recognised more or less by all scholars." - Introduction.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
