Footnotes

  1. 29 The has “out of the north comes gold.” Left in that sense the line seems irrelevant. The translation “golden splendor” (with , , , ) depends upon the context of theophany. Others suggest “golden rays” (Dhorme), the aurora borealis (Graetz, Gray), or some mythological allusion (Pope), such as Baal’s palace. Golden rays or splendor is what is intended, although the reference is not to a natural phenomenon—it is something that would suggest the glory of God.
