Footnotes

  1. 27 The text says “will be buried in/by death.” A number of passages in the Bible use “death” to mean the plague that kills (see Jer 15:2; Isa 28:3; and 89 בְּ 2.a). In this sense it is like the English expression for the plague, “the Black Death.”
  2. 28 The has “their widows” to match the plural, and most commentators harmonize in the same way.
