Footnotes

  1. 21 Heb “No for with the one whom the Lord has chosen, and this people, and all the men of Israel, I will be and with him I will stay.” The translation follows the Qere and several medieval Hebrew in reading לוֹ (lo, “[I will be] to him”) rather than the לֹא (lo’, “[I will] not be”), which makes very little sense here.
