Footnotes
- 6 Heb “a resident alien and a settler.”
- 7 Heb “give,” which is used here as an idiom for “sell” (see v. 9). The idiom reflects the polite bartering that was done in the culture at the time.
- 8 Or “possession.”
- 9 Following the imperative, the cohortative with the prefixed conjunction expresses purpose.
- 10 Heb “bury my dead out of my sight.” The last phrase “out of my sight” has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.
