Famous quotes containing the words hebrew and/or texts:
“Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed.”
—Bible: Hebrew Job 38:11.
God speaking to Job of his laying of his “foundations of the earth.”
“I know that I will always be expected to have extra insight into black texts—especially texts by black women. A working-class Jewish woman from Brooklyn could become an expert on Shakespeare or Baudelaire, my students seemed to believe, if she mastered the language, the texts, and the critical literature. But they would not grant that a middle-class white man could ever be a trusted authority on Toni Morrison.”
—Claire Oberon Garcia, African American scholar and educator. Chronicle of Higher Education, p. B2 (July 27, 1994)
