Footnotes

  1. 19 Heb “what was right in the eyes of the Lord.”
  2. 20 Heb “father,” but Hebrew often uses the terms “father” and “mother” for grandparents and more remote ancestors.
  3. 21 The word used here, גִלּוּלִים [gillulim], is always used as a disdainful reference to idols. It is generally thought to have originally referred to “dung pellets” (cf. 183 גִלּוּלִים). It is only one of several terms used in this way, such as “worthless things” (אֱלִילִים, ’elilim), “vanities” or “empty winds” (הֲבָלִים, havalim).
  4. 22 Heb “fathers” (also in v. 24).
