“A Great Benefit to His Fellow Beings”

Brant Gardner

The restriction of the interpreters to a command from God means that God is with the man who uses them. It is the power of God that reveals, not man. The seer is not a translator, and should not be confused for one. His function is much more than reading words, his function is revealing God. It is in that revelation of the will of God that "he becometh a great benefit to his fellow beings."
