Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 29 Heb “their knees will run with water.” The expression probably refers to urination caused by fright, which is how the renders the phrase. More colloquial English would simply be “they will wet their pants,” but as D. I. Block (Ezekiel [], 1:, n. 98) notes, the men likely wore skirts which were short enough to expose urine on the knees.
