Footnotes

  1. 16 Heb “tents,” used figuratively for the community here (cf. , ); “the nation of Israel.”
  2. 17 Heb “every man who does this, him who is awake and him who answers.” For “answers” the suggests an underlying Hebrew text of עָנָה (’anah, “to be humbled”), and then the whole phrase is modified slightly: “until he is humbled.” This requires also that the עֵר (’er, “awake”) be read as עֵד (’ed, “until”; here the reads ἕως, heōs). The reading of the is most likely an alteration to correct what is arguably a difficult text. Heb “every man who does this, him who is awake and him who answers.” The idea seems to be a merism expressing totality, that is, everybody from the awakener to the awakened, thus “every last person who does this” ( similar); “whoever he may be.”
