Footnotes

  1. 15 Heb “the portion of his inheritance.” The and add “Israel” and suggests the reconstruction: “The Lord’s allotment is Jacob, the portion of his inheritance is Israel” (cf. ). While providing good parallelism, it destroys a fine chiastic structure: “allotment” (a), “his people” (b), “Jacob (b’), and “inheritance” (a’).
