Footnotes
- 11 The meaning and correct translation of the Hebrew word שְׁבָרִים (shévarim) is uncertain. The translation “fissures” is based on usage of the plural form of the noun in Ps 60:4 (60:2 ), where it appears to refer to cracks in the earth caused by an earthquake. Perhaps deep ravines or gorges are in view, or the word is a proper noun (“all the way to Shebarim”).
- 12 The precise geographical location of the Israelite defeat at this “steep slope” is uncertain.
- 13 Or “army’s.”
- 14 Heb “and the heart of the people melted and became water.”
