Footnotes
- 11 Heb “We have not drunk wine all our days.” Actually vv. 8b–9a are a series of infinitive constructs plus the negative לְבִלְתִּי (lévilti) explaining the particulars of how they have obeyed, i.e., by not drinking wine … and by not building.…” The more direct declarative statement is used here to shorten the sentence and is more in keeping with contemporary style.
