Komentaryong Sumisipi para sa Mga Awit 9:6

עולמי עד═עד Innumerable worlds; עד signifies that which cannot be counted; eternity.²³I. E. repeatedly gives this paraphrase of עד, but does not explain how it is drawn from the word עד. It would be equally strange to suppose that עד is the beginning of a sentence which is to be supplied, namely, עד שלא יוכלו לספור; a similar ellipsis is suggested by I. E., for the phrase עולם ועד עולם═עולם ועד Comp. I. E. on Ex. 15:18; Ps. 9:6. That resteth for ever. This is a distinctive attribute of God, since all creatures move, the stars also change their places, and even the soul.²⁴The Hebrew text has the words גם לכוכבים יש תנועה כנשמה also the stars move like the soul; but it can hardly be found what I. E. meant by these words. We have, perhaps, to read גם לנשמה instead of כנשמה, as has been emended for the translation, or בשמים in the heavens. In the latter case, the meaning of the phrase would be, that even the stars, which are, according to the opinion of I. E., more stationary and durable than the earth and the creatures below, move about in their exalted places.
