Ezekiel 16:47

asif that were a very littlething] Or temporally: but a little while, and then, i.e. speedily thou wast corrupted;though there seems no reference to any actual period of righteousness, such as the times of David. (The strange word ḳâṭis utterly unknown; any connexion with Ar. ḳaṭ only, or with an Assyr. word "a little," Fried. Del. p. xvi. is little probable. If the word be anything but an echo of preceding sounds it may be a fragment of the word "little," cf. Isaiah 16:14; Isaiah 29:17.) Cf. ch. Ezekiel 5:6-7.
