2:12The lion tore apart as much prey as his cubs needed70
and strangled prey to provide food71 for his lionesses;
he filled72 his lairs with prey
and his dens with torn flesh.
Footnotes
- 70 Heb “as much as he needs.” The term בְּדי (bédi, “as much as he needs”; 2a) is composed of the preposition בְּ (bet) and the noun דַּי (day, “enough, what is required”). This idiom means” to satisfy the hunger of [something]” (cf. Jer 51:58; Hab 2:13).
- 71 The words “to provide food” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity.
- 72 The Piel verb וַיְמַלֵּא (vayémalle’) is a preterite with vav (ו) consecutive which depicts a sequence of events.
