38:5King Zedekiah said to them, “Very well, you can do what you want with him.13 For I cannot do anything to stop you.”14
Footnotes
- 13 Heb “Behold, he is in your hands [= power/control].”
- 14 Heb “For the king cannot do a thing with/against you.” The personal pronoun “I” is substituted in the English translation due to differences in style; Hebrew style often uses the third person or the title in speaking of oneself but English rarely if ever does. Compare the common paraphrasis of “your servant” for “I” in Hebrew (cf. 714 עֶבֶד 6 and usage in 1 Sam 20:7, 8) and compare the usage in Pss 63:11 (63:12 ); 61:6 (61:7 ) where the king is praying for himself. For the meaning of יָכֹל (yakhol) as “to be able to do anything,” see 407 יָכֹל 1.g.
