Footnotes

  1. 97 The personal pronoun that would be expected as the subject of a noun clause is sometimes omitted (see §116.s). Here it has been supplied.
  2. 98 The consecutive clause is here attached without the use of the ו (vav), but only by simple juxtaposition (see §166.a).
  3. 99 The sense of the verb “come” with “together in judgment” means “to confront one another in court.” See Ps 143:2.
