Footnotes
- 16 Heb “As for Egypt, with vanity and emptiness they help.”
- 17 Heb “Rahab” (רַהַב, rahav), which also appears as a name for Egypt in Ps 87:4. The epithet is also used in the OT for a mythical sea monster symbolic of chaos. See the note at . A number of English versions use the name “Rahab” (e.g., , , , , ) while others attempt some sort of translation (cf. “a helpless monster”; , “the Harmless Dragon”).
- 18 The reads “Rahab, they, sitting.” The translation above assumes an emendation of הֵם שָׁבֶת (hem shavet) to הַמָּשְׁבָּת (hammashbat), a Hophal participle with prefixed definite article, meaning “the one who is made to cease,” i.e., “destroyed,” or “silenced.” See ישׁב.
