Footnotes

  1. 7 The verse begins with אִם (’im), the formula used for the content of the oath (“God lives … if I do/do not …”). Thus, the content of the oath proper is here in v. 4.
  2. 8 The verb means “to utter; to mumble; to meditate.” The implication is that he will not communicate deceitful things, no matter how quiet or subtle.
