Footnotes

  1. 24 The תְּהוֹם (téhom) is the “deep” of Gen 1:2, the abyss or primordial sea. It was always understood to be a place of darkness and danger. As remote as it is, it asserts that wisdom is not found there (personification). So here we have the abyss and the sea, then death and destruction—but they are not the places that wisdom resides.
  2. 25 The בּ (bet) preposition is taken here to mean “with” in the light of the parallel preposition.
