Footnotes
- 33 Heb “seed.”
- 34 The has a masculine verb here, but in light of the context the reference must be to Hannah. It is possible that the text of the is incorrect here (cf. the ancient versions), in which case the text should be changed to read either a passive participle or better, the third feminine singular of the verb. If the is correct here, perhaps the masculine is to be understood in a nonspecific and impersonal way, allowing for a feminine antecedent. In any case, the syntax of the is unusual here.
- 35 Heb “his.”
