士師記 8:18 猶太思想:Guide for the Perplexed

וַיֹּ֗אמֶר אֶל־זֶ֙בַח֙ וְאֶל־צַלְמֻנָּ֔ע אֵיפֹה֙ הָאֲנָשִׁ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֲרַגְתֶּ֖ם בְּתָב֑וֹר וַֽיֹּאמרוּ֙ כָּמ֣וֹךָ כְמוֹהֶ֔ם אֶחָ֕ד כְּתֹ֖אַר בְּנֵ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃

他對西巴和撒慕拿說:«你們在他泊山所殺的那些人是甚麼樣子?»他們回答說:«他們跟你一樣,都是一個模樣,個個像王子的樣子。»

Guide for the Perplexed

I hold that the Hebrew equivalent of “form” in the ordinary acceptation of the word, viz., the figure and shape of a thing, is toär. Thus we find “[And Joseph was] beautiful in toär (‘form’), and beautiful in appearance” (Gen. 39:6): “What form (toär) is he of?” (1 Sam. 28:14): “As the form (toär) of the children of a king” (Judges 8:18). It is also applied to form produced by human labour, as “He marketh its form (toär) with a line,” “and he marketh its form (toär) with the compass” (Isa. 44:13). This term is not at all applicable to God.
