Footnotes

  1. 92 Some (cf. ) suggest emending the ’s “judgments” (from שָׁפַט, shafat) to “rods” (from שָׁבַט, shavat); however, this is not necessary if the term in the is interpreted figuratively. The “scourges” might reflect a different , but it also could have been an interpretive translation from the same text. “Judgments” is a metonymy of cause and refers to the punishment that the scoffer is to receive.
