Footnotes

  1. 63 The expression “this (v. 23) … and this” (v. 25) means “one … the other.”
  2. 64 The text literally has “and this [man] dies in soul of bitterness.” Some simply reverse it and translate “in the bitterness of soul.” The genitive “bitterness” may be an attribute adjective, “with a bitter soul.”
  3. 65 Heb “eaten what is good.” It means he died without having enjoyed the good life.
