Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 49 The clause that reads “and there is no one making you afraid,” is functioning circumstantially here (see 5:4; 10:7).
  2. 50 Heb “they will stroke your face,” a picture drawn from the domestic scene of a child stroking the face of the parent. The verb is a Piel, meaning “stroke, make soft.” It is used in the Bible of seeking favor from God (supplication); but it may on the human level also mean seeking to sway people by flattery. See further D. R. Ap-Thomas, “Notes on Some Terms Relating to Prayer,” 6 (1956): 225–41.
