Footnotes

  1. 49 Heb “for the Lord has given your enemies, Moab, into your hand.” The verb form (a Hebrew perfect, indicating completed action from the standpoint of the speaker) emphasizes the certainty of the event. Though it had not yet taken place, the Lord speaks of it as a “done deal.”
  2. 50 The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied for clarity.
  3. 51 Or “against Moab,” that is, so as to prevent the Moabites from crossing.
