Footnotes
- 11 Heb “a witness of faithfulness.” The genitive functions in an attributive sense: “faithful witness” (so , ); “reliable witness.”
- 12 Heb “a witness of falsehood.” The genitive functions in an attributive sense: “false witness.”
- 13 This saying addresses the problem of legal testimony: A faithful witness does not lie, but a false witness does lie—naturally. The first colon uses the verb כָּזַב (kazav, “to lie”) and the second colon uses the noun כָּזָב (kazav, “lie; falsehood”).
