Footnotes

- 55 The expression is difficult, and is suspected of having been added from Song 7:10, although the parallel is not exact. The verb is the Hitpael imperfect of הָלַךְ (halakh); and the prepositional phrase uses the word “upright; equity; pleasing,” from יָשָׁר (yashar). has “when it moveth itself aright”; much more helpful is : “when it goeth down smoothly.” Most recent English versions are similar to . The phrase obviously refers to the pleasing nature of wine.
