Footnotes
- 57 Heb “he made an alliance with him.”
- 58 Heb “make ships to go to Tarshish.” This probably refers to large ships either made in or capable of traveling to the distant western port of Tarshish; a “Tarshish-ship” was essentially a large seagoing merchant ship.
- 59 Heb “when.”
- 60 Heb “to go to Tarshish.”
