That which we said at the beginning should be observed in the vowel letters—namely that with us at times there is one letter, while among the Hebrews it is pronounced with various sounds—must now also be known regarding the letter S. For among the Hebrews there are three letters S: one which is called SAMECH (ס), ס, and is read simply, as if written with our own letter S; another, SIN (ש), ש, in which a certain hissing sound rings out that does not belong to our speech; a third, SADE (צ), צ, which our ears utterly shrink from. So wherever it happens that the same names are interpreted differently in different places, the cause is that they are written with different letters. And what we have said concerning Genesis in this matter is to be observed likewise in all the books.
