Verse 2 Chronicles 34:27. Because thine heart was tender — "Because thy heart was melted, and thou hast humbled thyself in the sight of the WORD of the Lord, מימרא דיי meymera daya, when thou didst hear his words, ית פתגמוי yath pithgamoi, against this place," &c. Here the Targum most evidently distinguishes between מימרא meymera, the PERSONAL WORD, and פתגם pithgam, a word spoken or expressed.
