Footnotes
- 70 The meaning of the Hebrew word פֶּרֶק (pereq; here translated “fork in the road”) is uncertain. The word is found in the Hebrew Bible only here and in Nah 3:1, where it means “plunder.” In the present context it seems to refer to a strategic intersection or fork in a road where bands of Edomites apprehended Israelites who were fleeing from the attack on Jerusalem. Cf. , , “crossroads”; “crossings.”
- 71 Heb “to cut off” (so , ); , “to cut down.”
- 72 Heb “his fugitives”; , “refugees.”
- 73 Heb “in the day of distress” (so , ).
