Footnotes

  1. 47 The word actually means “to spread,” but with lightning as the object, “to scatter” appears to fit the context better.
  2. 48 The word is “light,” but taken to mean “lightning.” Theodotion had “mist” here, and so most commentators follow that because it is more appropriate to the verb and the context.
  3. 49 Heb “roots.”
