Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 53 Heb “he runs against [or upon] him with the neck.” The takes this to mean “with a stiff neck.” Several commentators, influenced by the ’s “insolently,” have attempted to harmonize with some idiom for neck (“outstretched neck,” for example). Others have made more extensive changes. Pope and Anderson follow Tur-Sinai in accepting “with full battle armor.” But the main idea seems to be that of a headlong assault on God.
  2. 54 Heb “with the thickness of the bosses of his shield.” The bosses are the convex sides of the bucklers, turned against the foe. This is a defiant attack on God.
