Footnotes

  1. 5 The Hebrew text has כַדּוּר (khadur, “like a circle”), i.e., “like an encircling wall.” Some emend this phrase to כְּדָוִד (kédavid, “like David”), which is supported by the (see v. 1). However, the rendering in the could have arisen from a confusion of the dalet (ד) and resh (ר).
  2. 6 The meaning of מֻצָּב (mutsav) is not certain. Because of the parallelism (note “siege works”), some translate “towers.” The noun is derived from נָצַב (natsav, “take one’s stand”) and may refer to the troops stationed outside the city to prevent entrance or departure.
