23:25May your father and your mother have joy;
may she who bore you rejoice.42
Footnotes
- 40 The Qere reading has the imperfect יָגִיל (yagil) with the cognate accusative גִּיל (gil) which intensifies the meaning and the specific future of this verb.
- 41 The term “child” is supplied for the masculine singular adjective here.
- 42 The form תָגֵל (tagel) is clearly a short form and therefore a jussive (“may she … rejoice”); if this second verb is a jussive, then the parallel יִשְׂמַח (yismakh) should be a jussive also (“may your father and your mother have joy”).
