Information About

Moses Kimhi




Like his father, he wrote a number of commentaries on the Bible, basing himself on the literal meaning of the text. His surviving works include commentaries on the books of Proverbs , Job , Ezra , and Nehemiah . He also wrote a book of essays on Hebrew Grammar , in which he described the underlying principles of his commentaries, combined with tangential discussions of Medieval Philosophy .

Though little is known about his early life, he apparently raised his younger brother David, and was a major influence on his commentaries.
