Footnotes
- 70 Heb “And in that day”; , “On that day.”
- 71 The verb עָנָה, (’anah) which is used throughout 2:23–24, is related to the root I עָנָה (’anah), “to answer, listen attentively, react willingly” ( 772 1.b; ענה 3.b).
- 72 Heb “and they.” In the Hebrew text the plural pronoun is used because it refers back to the term translated “sky,” which is a dual form in Hebrew. Many English versions (e.g., , , ) use the plural term “heavens” here, which agrees with a plural pronoun (cf. also , “skies”).
