Footnotes

  1. 10 The reads וְדָמִיתִי אִמֶּךָ (védamiti ’immekha, “and I will destroy your mother”), and is followed by most English versions; however, the text should probably be emended to וְדָמִית עַמֶּךָ (védamit ’ammekha, “and you have destroyed your own people”). The 2nd person masculine singular form וְדָמִית (védamit, “and you have destroyed”) is preserved in several medieval Hebrew and reflected in Jerome’s . For discussion in favor of the reading, see D. Barthélemy, e.d., Preliminary and Interim Report on the Hebrew Old Testament Text Project, 5:232. Or “and I will destroy your mother” (so , ).
