Verse [Ecclesiastes 12:1](../../../kjv/ecclesiastes/12/1). ***Remember thy Creator*** — בוראיך *Boreeycha*, thy CREATORS. The word is most certainly in the *plural* number in all our common Hebrew Bibles; but it is in the *singular* number, בוראך *Borecha*, in *one hundred and seventy-six* of Dr. *Kennicott's* MSS., and *ninety-six* of *De Rossi's*; in many *ancient editions*; and in all the ancient *versions*. There is no dependence on the *plural* form in most of the modern editions; though there are some editions of great worth which exhibit the word in this form, and among them the *Complutensian, Antwerp, Paris*, and *London* polyglots.
The evidence, therefore, that this text is supposed to give to the doctrine of the *ever blessed Trinity*, is but precarious, and on it little stress can be laid; and no man who loves truth would wish to support it by dubious witnesses. Injudicious men, by laying stress on texts dubious in themselves, and which may be interpreted a different way, greatly injure the true faith. Though such in their hearts may be friends to the orthodox faith, they are in fact its *worst friends*, and their assistance is such as helps their *adversaries*.
But what does the text say? It addresses the *youth* of both sexes throughout the creation; and says in effect: -
I. You are not your own, you have no right to yourselves. God made you; he is your *Creator*: he made you that you might be happy; but you can be happy only *in him*. And as he *created* you, so he *preserves* you; he *feeds, clothes, upholds* you. He has *made* you capable of *knowing, loving*, and *serving* him in this world, and of *enjoying* him in his own glory for ever. And when you had *undone* *yourselves* by *sin*, he sent his Son to *redeem* you by his blood; and he sends his *Spirit* to *enlighten, convince*, and *draw you* away from childishness, from vain and trifling, as well as from sinful, pursuits.
II. *Remember* him; consider that he is your *Creator*, your *loving* and affectionate *Father*. In youth *memory* is strong and tenacious; but, through the *perversion of the heart* by *sin*, young people can *remember any thing* better than GOD. If you get a kindness from a friend, you can *remember* that, and *feel gratitude* for it; and the *person* is therefore *endeared* to you. Have any ever given you such *benefits* as your *Creator*? Your *body* and *soul* came from him; he gave you your *eyes, ears, tongue, hands, feet*, c. What blessings are these! how *excellent*! how *useful*! how *necessary* and will you *forget* HIM?
III. *Remember him in thy* YOUTH, in order that you may have a *long* and *blessed life*, that you may be saved from the corruption and misery into which young people in general run and the evils they entail upon themselves by giving way to the sinful propensities of their own hearts. As in youth all the powers are more active and vigorous, so they are capable of superior enjoyments. *Faith, hope*, and *love*, will be in their best *tenor*, their greatest *vigour*, and in their *least encumbered state*. And it will be *easier* for you to *believe, hope, pray, love, obey*, and *bear your cross*, than it can be in old age and decrepitude.
IV. *Remember him* NOW, in *this part* of your *youth*-you have no certainty of life; *now* is yours, to-morrow may not be. You *are* young; but you may *never* be old. *Now* he waits to be gracious; *tomorrow* may be too late. God *now* calls; his *Spirit* now strives; his *ministers* now exhort. You have now *health*; sin has not now *so* *much dominion over you* as it will have, increasing by every future moment, if you do not give up your hearts to your Maker.
V. There is another consideration which should weigh with you: should you live to *old age*, it is a very disadvantageous time to begin to serve the Lord in. *Infirmities* press down both body and mind, and the oppressed nature has enough to do to bear its own infirmities; and as there is *little time*, so there is generally *less inclination*, to call upon the Lord. *Evil habits* are strengthened by long continuance; and every desire and appetite in the soul is a strong hold for Satan. There is little time for repentance, little for faith, *none* for obedience. The *evil days* are *come*, and the *years* in which you will feelingly be obliged to say, Alas! "we have no pleasure in them;" and, what is worse, the heart is hardened through the *deceitfulness of sin*.

Verse [Ecclesiastes 12:2](../../../kjv/ecclesiastes/12/2). ***While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars,**********be not darkened*** — i.e., in the SPRING, prime, and prosperity of life.
***Nor the clouds return*** — The infirmities of old age of which WINTER is a proper emblem, as *spring* is of *youth*, in the former clause of this verse.

Verse [Ecclesiastes 12:3](../../../kjv/ecclesiastes/12/3). ***In the day when the keepers of the house*** — The BODY of *man* is here compared to a HOUSE: - mark the metaphors and their propriety.
1. ***The keepers shall tremble*** - the *hands* become paralytic, as is constantly the case, less or more, in old age.
2. ***The strong men shall bow*** — The *legs* become feeble, and unable to support the weight of the body.
3. ***The grinders cease because they are few*** — The *teeth* decayed and mostly lost; the *few* that remain being incapable of properly masticating hard substances or animal food. And so they *cease*; for soft or pulpy substances, which are requisite then, require little or no mastication; and these aliments become their ordinary food.
4. ***Those that look out of the windows*** — The *optic nerves*, which receive impressions, through the medium of the different *humours* of the eye, from surrounding objects - they *are darkened*; the humours becoming *thick, flat*, and *turbid*, they are no longer capable of transmitting those images in that clear, distinct manner, as formerly. There may be an allusion here to the *pupil* of the eye. Look into it, and you will see *your own image* in extreme minature *looking out* upon you; and hence it has its name *pupillus*, a *little child*, from *pupus*, a *baby*, a *doll*; because the image in the eye resembles such. The *optic nerve* being seated at the *bottom of the eye*, has the images of surrounding objects painted upon it; *it looks out through the different humors*. The different membranes and humours which compose the eye, and serve for vision, are, the *tunica conjunctiva*, the *tunica sclerotica*, the *cornea*, the *iris*, the *pupil*, the *choroides*, and the *retina*. The *iris* is perforated to admit the rays of light, and is called the *pupil*; the *retina* is a diffusion of the *optic nerve* in the bottom of the eye, on which the images are painted or impressed that give us the *sensation* we term *sight* or *vision*. All these *membranes, humours*, and *nerves*, are more or less *impaired*, thickened, or rendered *opaque*, by *old age*, expressed by the metaphor, "Those that look out of the windows are darkened."

Verse [Ecclesiastes 12:4](../../../kjv/ecclesiastes/12/4). ***And the doors shall be shut in the streets*** —
5. The *doors* - the *lips*, which are the *doors* by which the *mouth* is *closed*.
6. ***Be shut in the streets*** — The *cavities* of the *cheeks* and *jaws*, through which the food may be said to *travel* before it is fitted by *mastication* or chewing to go down the *aesophagus* into the stomach. The *doors* or *lips* are *shut* to hinder the food in chewing from dropping out; as the *teeth*, which prevented that before, are now lost.
7. ***The sound of the grinding is low*** — Little noise is now made in eating, because the *teeth* are either lost, or become so infirm as not to suffer their being pressed close together; and the mouth being kept shut to hinder the food from dropping out, the *sound* in eating is scarcely heard. The *teeth* are divided into *three* kinds: -
1) The *dentes incisores*, or *cutting teeth*, in the front of the jaw.
2) The *dentes canini*, or *dog teeth*, those in the sides of the jaws, for *gnawing*, or *tearing* and *separating* hard or *tough* *substances*. And,
3) *Dentes molares*, or *grinding teeth*, the posterior or *double teeth*, in both jaws, generally termed the *grinders*; because their office is to *grind down* the substances that have been *cut* by the *fore teeth, separated* into their parts or fibres by the *dog teeth*, and thus prepare it for digestion in the stomach.
8. ***He shall rise up at the voice of the bird*** — His sleep is not *sound* as it used to be; he *slumbers* rather than *sleeps*; and the *crowing of the cock* awakes him. And so much difficulty does he find to *respire* while in bed, that he is glad of the dawn to rise up and get some relief. The chirping ot the sparrow is sufficient to awake him.
9. ***All the daughters of music shall be brought low*** — The VOICE, that wonderful *instrument*, almost endless in the *strength* and *variety* of its *tones*, becomes *feeble* and *squeaking*, and merriment and pleasure are no more. The tones *emitted* are all of the *querulous* or *mournful* kind.

Verse [Ecclesiastes 12:5](../../../kjv/ecclesiastes/12/5). When ***they shall be afraid*****of that which is*****high*** —
10. Being so *feeble*, they are afraid to trust themselves to *ascend steps, stairs*, c., without help. And when they *look* *upwards*, their heads turn giddy, and they are ready to fall.
11. ***Fears*****shall be*****in the way*** — They dare not walk *out*, lest they should meet some danger, which they have not *strength* to repel, nor *agility* to *escape*. A second childishness has taken place-apprehensions, fears, terrors, and weakness.
12. ***The almond tree shall flourish*** — ינאץ *yenaets*, not *flourish*, but *fall off*. The *hair* begins to change, first *gray,* then *white* it having no longer that supply of nutritive juices which it once had, this *animal vegetable withers* and *falls off*. The *almond tree*, having *white flowers*, is a fit emblem of a *hoary* *head*; or as *Hasselquist* says, who observed the tree in full flower in Judea, "like an old man with his *white locks*."
13. ***The grasshopper shall be a burden*** — Even such an inconsiderable thing as a *locust*, or a very small *insect*, shall be deemed burdensome, their strength is so exceedingly diminished. In cases of the *gout*, especially in *old men*, the *shadow* of a person passing by puts them to acute pain! How much less can they bear the smallest pressure! But probably the words refer to the man himself, who, bent at the loins, and his arms hanging down, exhibits some caricature of the animal in question. The poor grasshopper has become a burden to himself. Another interpretation has been given of the *grasshopper*; but I pass it by as impertinent and contemptible; such commentators appear as if they wished to render the text ridiculous.
14. ***Desire shall fail*** — Both *relish* and *appetite* for food, even the most *delicate*, that to which they were formerly so much *attached*, now *fails*. The *teeth* are no longer able to *masticate* the food, or have all *dropped out*; the stomach no longer able to digest any thing; and, as the body is no longer capable of receiving nourishment, *appetite* and *relish* necessarily fail.
15. ***Because man goeth to his long home*** — אל בית עולמו *el beith* *olamo*, "to the house of his age;" the place destined to receive him, when the *whole race* or *course* of life shall be *finished*; for עולם *olam* takes in the *whole course* or *duration of a* *thing*; if applied to a *dispensation*, such as the LAW, it takes in its whole *duration*; to the *life* of man, it takes in the *whole* *life*; to *time*, it includes its whole compass; to *eternity*, it expresses its infinite duration. So *old age* terminates the *olam*, the complete duration of human life; and when life is no longer desired, and nutrition ceases, the *olam* of man is terminated. My old MS. Bible translates it, *The hous of his everlastingness*.
16. He is just departing into the invisible world; and this is known by the *mourners going about the streets*, the *long hollow* *groans* and *throat rattlings* which proceed from him; the sure prognostications of the extreme *debility* and *speedy cessation* of those essential animal functions next mentioned.

Verse [Ecclesiastes 12:6](../../../kjv/ecclesiastes/12/6). ***Or ever the silver cord be loosed*** — We have already *had* all the *external* evidences of *old age*, with all its attendant infirmities; next follow what takes place *in* the body, in order to produce what is called *death*, or the separation of body and soul.
1. ***The silver cord*****.** - The *medulla oblongata* or *spinal marrow*, from which all the nerves proceed, as itself does from the *brain*. This is termed a *cord*, from its *exact similitude* to one; and a *silver cord*, from its *colour*, as it strikingly exhibits the *silver gray*; and from its *preciousness*. This is said to be *loosed*; as the *nervous system* became a little before, and at the article of death, wholly debilitated. The last *loosing* being the *fall of the under jaw*, the invariable and never-failing evidence of *immediate death*; a few struggles more, and the soul is dismissed from its clay tenement.
2. ***The golden bowl be broken*** — The *brain* contained in the *cranium*, or skull, and enveloped with the membranes called the *dura* and *pia mater*; here called a *bowl*, from its resemblance to such a vessel, the *container* being put for the *contained*; and *golden* because of its *colour*, and because of its exceeding *preciousness*, as has been noticed in the former case. *Broken* - be rendered *unfit to perform its functions*, neither supplying nor distributing any *nervous energy*.
3. ***Or the pitcher be broken at the fountain*** — The *vena cava*, which brings back the blood to the *right ventricle* of the heart, here called the *fountain*, המבוע hammabbua, the *spring* whence the water *gushes up*; properly applied here to the heart, which by its *systole* and *diastole* (*contraction* and *expansion*) sends out, and afterwards receives back, the blood; for all the blood flows from, and returns back to, the heart.
4. ***The wheel broken at the cistern*** — The *great aorta*, which receives the blood from the *cistern*, the *left ventricle* of the heart, and distributes it to the different parts of the system. These may be said, as in the case of the *brain* above, to be *broken*, i.e., rendered useless; when, through the *loosening of* *the silver cord*, the total relaxation of the *nervous system*, the *heart* becomes incapable of *dilatation* and *contraction*, so that the blood, on its return to the *right ventricle* of the heart, is not *received*, nor that already contained in the *ventricles* propelled into the great *aorta*. The *wheel* is used in allusion to the Asiatic *wheels*, by which they raise water from their wells and tanks, and deep cisterns, for domestic purposes, or to irrigate the grounds. Thus, then, the blood becomes stagnate; the lungs cease to respire; the blood is no longer *oxidized*; all motion, voluntary and involuntary, ceases; the body, the house of the immortal spirit, is no longer tenantable, and the soul takes its flight into the eternal world. The man D-I-E-S! This is expressed in the following verse: -

Verse [Ecclesiastes 12:7](../../../kjv/ecclesiastes/12/7). ***Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and**********the spirit shall return unto God*** —
5. Putrefaction and solution take place; the whole mass becomes decomposed, and in process of time is reduced to dust, from which it was originally made; while the spirit, הרוח *haruach*, that spirit, which God at first breathed into the nostrils of man, when he in consequence became a LIVING SOUL, an intelligent, rational, discoursing animal, returns to God who gave it. Here the wise man makes a most evident distinction between the body and the soul: they are not the same; they are not both matter. The body, which is matter, returns to dust, its original; but the spirit, which is *immaterial*, returns to God. It is impossible that two natures can be more distinct, or more emphatically distinguished. The author of this book was not a materialist.
Thus ends this affecting, yet elegant and finished, picture of OLD AGE and DEATH. See a description of old age similar, but much inferior, to this, in the Agamemnon of AEschylus, v. 76-82.
It has been often remarked that the *circulation of the blood*, which has been deemed a modern discovery by our countryman Dr. *Harvey*, in 1616, was known to Solomon, or whoever was the author of this book: the *fountains, cisterns, pitcher*, and *wheel*, giving sufficient countenance to the conclusion.

Verse [Ecclesiastes 12:8](../../../kjv/ecclesiastes/12/8). This affecting and minute description of *old age* and *death* is concluded by the author with the same exclamation by which he began this book: *O vanity of vanities*, saith Koheleth, *all is vanity*. Now that man, the masterpiece of God's creation, the delegated sovereign of this lower world, is *turned to dust*, what is there *stable* or worthy of contemplation besides? ALL - ALL is VANITY!

Verse [Ecclesiastes 12:9](../../../kjv/ecclesiastes/12/9). ***Because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the**********people knowledge*** — And in order to do this he took *good* *heed* - considered what would be most useful. *He set in* *order* - collected and arranged, many parables, probably alluding to the book over which we have already passed.

Verse [Ecclesiastes 12:10](../../../kjv/ecclesiastes/12/10). ***He sought to find out acceptable words*** — דברי חפץ *dibrey chephets*, words of desire, words of will; the best, the most suitable words; those which the people could best understand. But these words were not such as might merely please the people; they were *words of truth*; such as came from God, and might lead them to him.

Verse [Ecclesiastes 12:11](../../../kjv/ecclesiastes/12/11). ***The words of the wise*** — Doctrines of faith, illustrated by suitable language, are *as nails fastened* by the *masters of* *assemblies*, בעלי אספות baaley asuphoth, the *masters of* *collections*, those who had made the best collections of this kind, the *matter* of which was of the most excellent nature; every saying sinking as deeply into the mind, by the *force* of the *truth* contained in it, as a *nail* well *pointed* does into a *board*, when *impelled by the hammer's force*. These *masters of collections* have been supposed to be public persons appointed by the *prince* himself, the *sole shepherd*, to see that nothing was put into the people's hands but what would be profitable for them to read; and that, when any wise man gave public instructions, a good *scribe* sat by to take down the words; and then the master examined what he *had written*, to see that it was *upright*, and that the words were *doctrines of truth*. These were something like our *licensers* *of the press*; but the existence of such is little more than conjecture.
After all, *masters of assemblies* may mean *public teachers*; that *which was written*, the oracles of God, out of which they instructed the people; the *one Shepherd*, GOD ALMIGHTY, from whom they received their authority and unction to preach the truth; and by the energy of whose *Spirit* the heavenly teaching was fastened in their hearts, as a *well-driven nail* in a *sound piece of wood*.

Verse [Ecclesiastes 12:12](../../../kjv/ecclesiastes/12/12). ***And farther, by these, my son, be admonished*** — Hear such teachers, and receive their admonitions; and do not receive the grace of God in vain.
***Of making many books*****there is*****no end*** — Two thousand years have elapsed since this was written; and since that time some millions of treatises have been added, on all kinds of subjects, to those which have gone before. The press is still groaning under and teeming with books, books innumerable; and no one subject is yet *exhausted*, notwithstanding all that has been written on it. And we who live in these *latter times* are no nearer an end, in the investigation of NATURE and its *properties*; of GOD, his attributes, his providence, his justice, and his mercy; of MAN, his animal life, his mode of nutrition and existence, and his soul and its powers; of JESUS, and the redemption by him; of ETERNITY, and what it implies as exhibiting to us the pains of the cursed, and the glories of the blessed. Of several of these we know no more than they who have lived *five thousand* years before us; nor do we know any thing *certainly* by the *endless books* that have been published, except what bears the seal of the God of heaven, as published in that word which was declared by his Spirit.
***And much study*** is *a weariness of the flesh.*] O how true is this! Let the trembling knees, the palsied hands, the darkened eyes, the aching heart, and the puzzled mind of every real student declare! And should none more worthy of the name of student be within reach to consult, the writer of this work is a proof in point.

Verse 13. After all, the sum of the great business of human life is comprised in this short sentence, on which some millions of books have been already written!
FEAR GOD, AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS
1. Know that HE IS, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
2. Reverence him; pay him adoration.
3. Love him, that you may be happy.
***Keep his commandments*** — They are contained in two words:
1. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart;"
2. "And thy neighbour as thyself."
Blessed be God, much reading and much study are not necessary to accomplish this, which is called כל האדם *col* *haadam*, the whole of Adam; the whole that God required of the *first man* and of *all his posterity*. But the *Gospel* of Jesus Christ must be understood to comprehend the full force of this short saying.
The word *duty*, added here by our translators, *spoils*, if not PERVERTS, the sense.
The whole passage is rendered with great simplicity by *Coverdale*: -
"The same preacher was not wyse alone: but taught the people knowledge also. He gave good hede, sought out the grounde, and set forth many parables. His diligence was to fynde out acceptable wordes, right scripture, and the wordes of trueth. For the wordes of the wyse are like prickes and nales that go thorow, wherewith men are kepte together: for they are geven of one Shepherd onely. Therefore be warre (my sonne) that above these thou make thee not many and innumerable bookes, nor take dyverse doctrynes in hande, to weery thy body withall.
"Let us heare the conclusion of all thinges; Feare God, and kepe his comaundementes, for that toucheth all men; for God shall judge all workes and secrete thinges, whether they be good or evell."
I shall give the same from my old MS. Bible: -
*And wan Ecclesiastes was most wiis he taght the peple, and told* *out what he had don, and enserchinge maade many parablis. He soght* *profitable wordis, and wrote most right sermons, and ful of* *trewth, The wordis of wismen as prickis and as nailis into herte* *pigt: that bi the counseyle of maisteris ben geven of oon* *scheperd. More thann thes sone myn, ne seche thou; of making many* *bokes is noon eend, and oft bethinking is tormenting of the* *flesche. Eend of spekinge alle togydir heere mee. Drede God, and* *his hestis kepe; that is eche man. Alle thingis that ben maad* *schal bringen into dome, for eche erid thinge, whithir good or* *evyl it be.*
**

Verse [Ecclesiastes 12:14](../../../kjv/ecclesiastes/12/14). ***For God shall bring every work into judgment*** — This is the *reason* why we should "fear God and keep his commandments."
1. Because there will be a *day of judgment*.
2. Every soul of man shall stand at that bar.
3. God, the infinitely wise, the heart-searching God, will be judge.
4. He will bring to light every *secret thing* - all that has been done since the creation, by all men; whether *forgotten* or *registered*; whether *done in secret* or *in public*.
5. All the works of the *godly*, as well as all the works of the *wicked*, shall be judged in that day; the *good* which the *godly* strove to *conceal*, as well as the *evil* which the *wicked* endeavoured to *hide*.
This, then, will be the *conclusion* of the whole mortal story. And although in this world *all is* *vanity*; yet *there*, "vanities will be vain no more." Every thing, whether *good* or *evil*, will have its own proper stable, eternal *result*. O God! prepare the reader to give up his accounts with joy in that day! Amen.
"By the assistance of the Most High God this book of Ecclesiastes, which is vanity of vanities, written by Solomon the son of David who reigned over the children of Israel, is completed."
The SYRIAC has, "The end of the book of Koheleth."
There are others, but they are of no importance.
