Footnotes

  1. 26 Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in .
  2. 27 Heb “take delight to love.” Here again the verb אָהַב (’ahav, “love”), juxtaposed with בָחַר (bakhar, “choose”), is a term in covenant contexts that describes the Lord’s initiative in calling the patriarchal ancestors to be the founders of a people special to him (cf. the note on the word “loved” in ).
  3. 28 The Hebrew text includes “after them,” but it is redundant in English style and has not been included in the translation.
