Assemblies, Masters Of:
a-sem'-bliz, (baale acuppoth, Ec 12:11): the American Revised Version, margin "collectors of sentences," thus Qimchi, Grotius and others. This has been variously interpreted. Tyler translates "editors of collections." Klienert renders "protectors of the treasure- chambers," acuppoth being considered equivalent to the acuppim of 1Ch 26:15,17; Ne 12:25 (see ASUPPIM). The proverbs are like nails guarding the sacred storehouse, the book closing with this warning against touching the collection (compare Re 22:18,19). Delitzsch translates "like fastened nails which are put together in collections." "As baale berith (Ge 14:13) signifies the confederates,' baale shebhuah (Ne 6:18) the sworn,' and the frequently occurring baale ha-ir the citizens':so baale acuppoth means, the possessors of assemblies and of the assembled themselves, or the possessors of collections and of things collected. Thus baale acuppoth will be a designation of the words of the wise' (as in shalishim, "choice men" = choice proverbs, Pr 22:20, in a certain measure personified), as of those which form or constitute collections and which stand together in order and rank" ("Eccl," English translation, 434).,/p>
The Jerusalem Talmud takes acuppoth as the Sanhedrin. On the whole it is better to interpret the phrase "persons skilled in collections" of wise sayings, grouped in a compact whole (compare Wright, Eccl, 102).
