ק (Qof)
4:19Those who pursued us were swifter
They chased us over the mountains;
they ambushed us in the wilderness.
Footnotes
- 61 The bird referred to here could be one of several species of eagles, but more likely is the griffin-vulture (cf. “vultures”). However, because eagles are more commonly associated with swiftness than vultures in contemporary English, “eagles” was used in the translation.
- 62 Or “in the heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.
