Footnotes

  1. 45 Heb “come under the ban” (so ); “be set apart for destruction.” The same phrase occurs again at the end of this verse. The Hebrew word translated an object of divine wrath (חֵרֶם, kherem) refers to persons or things placed under God’s judgment, usually to the extent of their complete destruction. See note on the phrase “divine judgment” in .
  2. 46 Or “like it is.”
  3. 47 This Hebrew verb (שָׁקַץ, shaqats) is essentially synonymous with the next verb (תָעַב, ta’av; cf. תּוֹעֵבָה, to’evah; see note on the word “abhorrent” in v. ), though its field of meaning is more limited to cultic abomination (cf. Lev 11:11, 13; Ps 22:25).
  4. 48 Heb “detesting you must detest and abhorring you must abhor.” Both verbs are preceded by a cognate infinitive absolute indicating emphasis.
