Footnotes
- 64 The “bed” may be a metonymy of adjunct, meaning the garment that covers the bed (e.g., Exod 22:26). At any rate, it represents the individual’s last possession (like the English expression “the shirt off his back”).
- 65 Heb “If you cannot pay, why should he take the bed from under you?” This rhetorical question is used to affirm the statement. The rhetorical interrogative לָמָּה (lamah, “why?”) appears in but not in the ancient versions; it may be in the Hebrew text by dittography.
- 66 The third saying deals with rash vows: If people foolishly pledge what they have, they could lose everything (e.g., 6:1–5; 11:15; 17:18; 20:16; there is no Egyptian parallel).
