Footnotes

  1. 1 Heb “all these.” The phrase refers to the heavens and earth, mentioned in the previous verse.
  2. 2 Heb “and all these were.” Some prefer to emend וַיִּהְיוּ (vayyihyu, “and they were”) to וְלִי הָיוּ (véli hayu, “and to me they were”), i.e., “and they belong to me.”
  3. 3 Heb “and to this one I look” ( and both similar).
  4. 4 Heb “to the humble and the lowly in spirit and the one who trembles at my words.”
