Footnotes

  1. 97 The similar sounding nouns פַּחַד וָפַחַת (pakhad vafakhat, “panic and pitfall”) are an example of paronomasia.
  2. 98 Similar to the paronomasia in the preceding line, the words הַשֵּׁאת וְהַשָּׁבֶר (hashe’t véhashaver, “devastation and destruction”) form an example of alliteration: the beginning of the words sound alike.
