Footnotes
- 27 The translation follows the Qere and many medieval Hebrew in reading חַיִל (khayil, “valor”) rather than the Kethib of the , חַי (khay, “life”).
- 28 Heb “the two of Ariel, Moab.” The precise meaning of אריאל is uncertain; some read “warrior.” The present translation assumes that the word is a proper name and that בני, “sons of,” has accidentally dropped from the text by homoioarcton (note the preceding שׁני).
