Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 1 The Hebrew text reads literally, “Send [a plural imperatival form is used] a ram [to] the ruler of the land.” The term כַּר (kar, “ram”) should be emended to the plural כָּרִים (karim). The singular form in the text is probably the result of haplography; note that the next word begins with a mem (ם).
  2. 2 The Hebrew text has “toward [across?] the desert.”
