Footnotes
- 7 This clause is in apposition to the preceding (see §131.o). It offers a clarification.
- 8 The form בְּהִלּוֹ (béhillo) is unusual; it should be parsed as a Hiphil infinitive construct with the elision of the ה (he). The proper spelling would have been with a ַ (patakh) under the preposition, reflecting הַהִלּוֹ (hahillo). If it were Qal, it would just mean “when his light shone.”
- 9 Lamp and light are symbols of God’s blessings of life and all the prosperous and good things it includes.
- 10 Here too the imperfect verb is customary—it describes action that was continuous, but in a past time.
- 11 The accusative (“darkness”) is here an adverbial accusative of place, namely, “in the darkness,” or because he was successfully led by God’s light, “through the darkness” (see §118.h).
