Footnotes

  1. 50 Or “pulled down.”
  2. 51 The verb “they demolished” is repeated in the Hebrew text.
  3. 52 Heb “and they made it into.”
  4. 53 The consonantal text (Kethib) has the מַחֲרָאוֹת (makhara’ot), “places to defecate” or “dung houses” (note the related noun חרא (khr’)/חרי (khri), “dung,” *חֲרָאִים). The marginal reading (Qere) glosses this, perhaps euphemistically, מוֹצָאוֹת (motsa’ot), “outhouses.”
