In his preface, the author writes: “I have with great precision pointed the Hebrew, so that by its explanation in English and Spanish, they will improve in the Holy Language, comprehend its true meaning, and increase in the knowledge of God’s holy word, whereas at present that is not the case with many who read Hebrew.” See JE, Vol. II, p. 368
