Footnotes

  1. 53 Here the imperfect ἔκραζον (ekrazon) has been translated ingressively.
  2. 54 Grk “from the burning of her, saying.” For the translation “the smoke from the fire that burned her up,” see L&N 14.63. Here the participle λέγοντες (legontes, “saying”) has not been translated because it is redundant in contemporary English.
