Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 90 The Heb emphasiszes the pronoun “We—we have sinned.…” Given the contrast with the following, it means “For our part, we have sinned.…” A poetic reading in English would place vocal emphasis on “we” followed by a short pause.
  2. 91 Heb “We have revolted and we have rebelled.” The two verbs פָשַׁעְנוּ וּמָרִינוּ (pasha’nu umarinu, “we have revolted and we have rebelled”) form a verbal hendiadys in which the synonyms emphasize the single idea.
  3. 92 The Heb emphasiszes the pronoun “You—you have not forgiven.” Given the contrast with the preceding, it means “For your part, you have not forgiven.” A poetic reading in English would place vocal emphasis on “you” followed by a short pause.
