Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 24 The participle phrase פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן (po’ale ’aven, “workers of wickedness”) emphasizes continual (uninterrupted), habitual action. This particular use of the participle is an ironic play on the professional occupation function (see §37.2c). In effect, the major “professional guild” in Gilead is evil-working; the people are producers of evil!
  2. 25 Heb “it is foot-tracked with blood”; “tracked with (+ footprints of ) blood.”
