Footnotes

  1. 24 This term usually means “plans; devices” in a bad sense, although it can be used of God’s plans (see e.g., Zech 8:15).
  2. 25 Although not in the Hebrew text, “even” is supplied in the translation, because this line is in apposition to the preceding.
  3. 26 This word has been linked to the root יָרַשׁ (yarash, “to inherit”) yielding a meaning “the possessions of my heart.” But it is actually to be connected to אָרַשׁ (’arash, “to desire”) cognate to the Akkadian eresu, “desire.” The has “limbs,” which may come from an Aramaic word for “ropes.” An emendation based on the would be risky.
