Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 5 Heb “Is there a number to his troops?” The question is rhetorical: there is no number to them!
  2. 6 In place of “light” here the has “his ambush,” perhaps reading אֹרְבוֹ (’orévo) instead of אוֹרֵהוּ (’orehu, “his light”). But while that captures the idea of troops and warfare, the change should be rejected because the armies are linked with stars and light. The expression is poetic; the interpretation tried to make it concrete.
