Footnotes

  1. 35 The word “tradition” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation.
  2. 36 Heb “their fathers.” Some commentators change one letter and follow the reading of the : “and their fathers have not hidden.” Pope tries to get the same reading by classifying the ם (mem) as an enclitic mem. The on first glance would read “and did not hide from their fathers.” Some take the clause “and they did not hide” as adverbial and belonging to the first part of the verse: “what wise men declare, hiding nothing, according to the tradition of their fathers.”
