Footnotes

  1. 15 The word “dust” can mean “ground” here, or more likely, “grave.”
  2. 16 The verb חָבַשׁ (khavash) means “to bind.” In Arabic the word means “to bind” in the sense of “to imprison,” and that fits here.
  3. 17 Heb “their faces.”
  4. 18 The word is “secret place,” the place where he is to hide them, i.e., the grave. The text uses the word “secret place” as a metonymy for the grave.
