24:12So they placed him in custody until they were able22 to make a clear legal decision for themselves based on words from the mouth of the Lord.23

Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 22 The words “until they were able” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.
  2. 23 The Hebrew here is awkward. A literal reading would be something like the following: “And they placed him in custody to give a clear decision [ פרשׁ qal] for themselves on the mouth of the Lord.” In any case, they were apparently waiting for a direct word from the Lord regarding this matter (see vv. 13ff).
