Radak on Psalms 24:6

Home

Writings

6 ‎[1] **This is the generation of them that seek Him:** – Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord and in His Holy Place, because he is clean of hand and pure of heart? This is the generation of the seekers of the Lord, and they are Israel. And this happened in the days of Solomon, who built the House. And the Kethib דרשו (him that seeks Him) corresponds to דּוֹר (generation), which is a collective term, singular; and the Keri דֹּרְשָׁיו (them that seek Him) corresponds to the individuals, who are many.

‎[2] **That seek Thy face, (even) Jacob:** – The singer speaks as to God. These are they who seek Thy face in the Holy House, Jacob, and they are Israel; for all the seed of Jacob are called by the name Jacob, as (Jer. 30:10) "And thou fear not, O my servant Jacob" with other instances besides; And there is no need to supply seed of as the interpreters have done. And the word Selah I have interpreted in the third Psalm, and there is no need to interpret it in every place where it occurs.
