Footnotes

  1. 21 The adds “to your lord.”
  2. 22 The main verb is the Piel perfect, “he has refused.” This is followed by two infinitives. The first (לְתִתִּי, létitti) serves as a complement or direct object of the verb, answering the question of what he refused to do—“to give me.” The second infinitive (לַהֲלֹךְ, lahalokh) provides the object for the preceding infinitive: “to grant me to go.”
