Footnotes

  1. 12 Gesenius notes that the sign of the accusative, often omitted in poetry, is not found in this entire song ( §117.b).
  2. 13 The word is a substantive, “choice, selection”; it is here used in the construct state to convey an attribute before a partitive genitive—“the choice of his officers” means his “choice officers” (see §128.r).
  3. 14 The form is a Qal passive rather than a Pual, for there is not Piel form or meaning.
