Footnotes

  1. 4 Heb “and now what [following the marginal reading (Qere)] to me here?”
  2. 5 The verb appears to be a Hiphil form from the root יָלַל (yalal, “howl”), perhaps here in the sense of “mock.” Some emend the form to יְהוֹלָּלוֹ (yéhollalo) and understand a Polel form of the root הָלַל meaning here “mock, taunt.”
  3. 6 The verb is apparently a Hitpolal form (with assimilated tav, ת) from the root נָאַץ (na’ats), but §55.b explains it as a mixed form, combining Pual and Hitpolel readings.
