2.
(
&
, 644), “a shadow,” is rendered “shadow that is cast” in
Jas. 1:17,
RV
; the
KJV
makes no distinction between this and No. 1. The probable
significance of this word is “overshadowing” or “shadowing-over” (which
may
indicate), and this with the genitive case of
, “turning,” yields the meaning
“shadowing-over of mutability” implying an alternation of “shadow” and light; of this
there are two alternative explanations, namely, “overshadowing” (1) not caused by
mutability in God, or (2) caused by change in others, i.e., “no changes in this lower world
can cast a shadow on the unchanging Fount of light” [Mayor, who further remarks, “The
meaning of the passage will then be, ‘God is alike incapable of change (
) and
incapable of being changed by the action of others’”].
