Introduction

Father Jacob Bertrand Jansick: I took a course on the penitential Psalms here at the House of Studies. Father Bonaventure Chapman: Hebrew goes right to left. There are no consonants, they're all marked in... No vowels. Everything's a capital letter. And translation of Hebrew and how ... If you look at a Hebrew... Well, the Hebrew scriptures and you have little footnote down there saying like it could be a thousand or five or cheetahs. But if you actually see the Hebrew and you just take out vowels and smash together, it is not at all clear what this is.
