Footnotes

  1. 26 The lacks “the twelve bronze bulls under ‘the Sea,’ ” but these words have probably been accidentally omitted by homoioarcton. The scribe’s eye may have jumped from the וְהָ (véha-) on וְהַבָּקָר (véhabbaqar), “and the bulls,” to the וְהָ on וְהַמְּכֹנוֹת (véhammékhonot), “and the movable stands,” causing him to leave out the intervening words. See the parallel passage in Jer 52:20.
