Footnotes

  1. 1 The final mem (ם) on the verb יְשֻׂשׂוּם (yésusum) is dittographic (note the initial mem on the following noun מִדְבָּר [midbar]). The ambiguous verbal form is translated as a jussive because it is parallel to the jussive form תָגֵל (tagel). The jussive is used rhetorically here, not as a literal command or prayer.
  2. 2 Or “Arabah” (); , , “desert.”
