Footnotes
- 62 Heb “is not allowed to meet to the righteous.”
- 63 Heb “all calamity.” The proper nuance of אָוֶן (’aven) is debated. It is normally understood metonymically (effect) as “harm; trouble,” that is, the result/effect of wickedness (e.g., Gen 50:20). Rashi, a Jewish scholar who lived a.d. 1040–1105, took it as “wickedness,” its primary meaning; “the righteous will not be caught up in wickedness.”
- 64 The expression רָע מָלְאוּ (malé’u ra’, “to be full of evil”) means (1) the wicked do much evil or (2) the wicked experience much calamity (cf. , , , ).
