Footnotes

  1. 42 Teman, like Sela, was a prominent city of Edom. The name Teman is derived from the name of a grandson of Esau (cf. Gen 36:11). Here it is a synecdoche of part for whole, standing for all of Edom.
  2. 43 The Hebrew word used here (לְמַעַן, léma’an) usually expresses purpose. The sense in this context, however, is more likely that of result.
  3. 44 Heb “a man,” meaning “every single person” here; cf. “every one.”
  4. 45 Heb “cut off” (so , , ); , “cut down”; “wiped out.”
