Footnotes

  1. 33 The ephah was a standard dry measure in OT times; it was the equivalent of one-tenth of the OT measure known as a homer. The ephah was equal to approximately one-half to two-thirds of a bushel.
  2. 34 The Hebrew term translated “container” may denote either a clay storage jar (cf. “a clay jar full of wine”) or a leather container (cf. , , “a skin of wine”; “a leather bag filled with (full of ) wine.”
  3. 35 Heb “and the boy was a boy.” If the is correct the meaning apparently is that the boy was quite young at the time of these events. On the other hand, some scholars have suspected a textual problem, emending the text to read either “and the boy was with them” (so ) or “and the boy was with her” (a conjectural emendation). In spite of the difficulty it seems best to stay with the here.
