Footnotes

  1. 5 The Hiphil stem of כָּעַס (ka’as) may mean: (1) “to provoke to anger”; (2) “to bitterly offend”; or (3) “to grieve” ( 495 Hiph.; כעס hif). The Hebrew lexicons suggest that “bitterly offend” is the most appropriate nuance here.
  2. 6 Heb “before the builders.” The preposition נֶגֶד (neged, “before”) here connotes “in the sight of” or “in the view of” ( 617 1.a; 1.a).
