3:13and also that everyone should eat and drink, and find enjoyment in all his toil,
for these things25 are a gift from God.
Footnotes
- 25 Heb “for it.” The referent of the 3rd person feminine singular independent person pronoun (“it”) is probably the preceding statement: “to eat, drink, and find satisfaction.” This would be an example of an anacoluthon ( §167.b). Thus the present translation uses “these things” to indicate the reference back to the preceding.
