Bonsirven considers the

author's use of the OT text as "typologie forcee et

poussant jusqu'a l'extreme limite la loi du genre"
We have already pointed out that the weight attached
to the word ~bwxc,
in the relationship between
vv. 7-10 and the surrounding context in vv. 1-16
makes it extremely unlikely that the author deliberately
modified the text to suit his argument.
But this
does not negate the possibility that the author citedan
interpretative paraphrase known to himself and his
readers "'hich was understood as stating very plainly
the intended meaning of the Psalmist. This could
well be the case if it ",as understood that n j
had the proleptic significance 'to fetch', being
understood in the form 'to take in order to give,.17
If this were so then ~Owxe:.:;; S6f.io:'ta. 'tot'.:;; &'V6p6mOL':;;
could easily be accepted as a correct interpretive
comment or explication of ~Aa.!3e:, oOf.iO-'ta. ~v &.vep~'I(w
and is therefore to be described as an example of

of the other two possibilities discussed, we must now
leave fUrther discussion on this point to 2.3.3 below
when we will examine the NT interpretation of Ps 67;·18
and its consequence for Ephesians.
