In so doing Yefet ben Eli wrote a thoughtful and original commentary on the very symbolic \u003ci\u003eSong of Songs. \u003c\/i\u003eIndeed, according to Yefet ben Eli nothing in the Book should be taken realistically. The ability of Yefet to replace symbols by historical events is one of the many marks that show Yefet’s mastery and the originality of his commentary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e«Es ist ein grosses Verdienst J.
