Footnotes
- 47 The figure now changes to a plant that is flourishing and spreading and then suddenly cut off. The word רָטַב (ratav) means “to be moist; to be watered.” The word occurs in Arabic, Aramaic, and Akkadian, but only twice in the BibleNET: here as the adjective and in 24:8 as the verb.
- 48 The Hebrew is לִפְנֵי (lifne, “before”). Does this mean “in the presence of the sun,” i.e., under a sweltering sun, or “before” the sun rises? It seems more natural to take לִפְנֵי (lifne) as “in the presence of” or “under.”
- 49 Heb “its shoot goes out.”
- 50 Some have emended this phrase to obtain “over the roofs.” The has “out of his corruption.” H. M. Orlinsky has shown that this reading arose from an internal change, saprias having replaced prasias, “garden” ( 26 [1935/36]: 134–35).
