Footnotes
- 24 “Memory” (זֵכֶר, zekher) and “name” are often paired as synonyms. “Memory” in this sense has to do with reputation, fame. One’s reputation will be good or bad by righteousness or wickedness respectively.
- 25 Heb “name.” The term “name” often functions as a metonymy of association for reputation ( 1028 שֵׁם 2.b).
- 26 The editors of suggest a reading “will be cursed” to make a better parallelism, but the reading of the is more striking as a metaphor. To say the wicked’s name will rot means that the name will be obliterated from memory (Exod 17:14; Deut 25:19), leaving only a bad memory for a while.
