Footnotes

  1. 68 The versions have taken the pronoun in the sense of the verb “to be.” Others give it the sense of “the same thing,” rendering the verse as “small and great, there is no difference there.” §135.a, n. 1, follows this idea with a meaning of “the same.”
  2. 69 The renders this as “unafraid,” although the negative has disappeared in some to give the reading “and the servant that feared his master.” See I. Mendelsohn, “The Canaanite Term for ‘Free Proletarian’,” 83 (1941): 36–39; idem, “New Light on hupsu,” 139 (1955): 9–11.
  3. 70 The plural “masters” could be taken here as a plural of majesty rather than as referring to numerous masters.
