  2. 32 Heb “who demonstrated skill [with] good skill for the Lord.”
  3. 33 Heb “and they ate [during] the appointed time [for] seven days.” מוֹעֵד (mo’ed, “appointed time”) is probably an adverbial accusative of time referring to the festival. However, some understand it as metonymically referring to the food eaten during the festival. See 417
