Footnotes

  1. 50 Heb “say to.”
  2. 51 The verb is the jussive with a vav (ו) coming after the imperative; it may be subordinated to form a purpose clause (“that he may pick up”) or the object of the imperative.
  3. 52 The Hebrew text just has “fire,” but it would be hard to conceive of this action apart from the idea of coals of fire.
