Footnotes

  1. 44 Heb “all of your desires cannot compare with her.”
  2. 45 Heb “your desires.” The 2nd person masculine singular suffix on the noun probably functions as subjective genitive.
  3. 46 The imperfect tense verb יָסַד (yasad, “to establish be like; to resemble”) has a potential nuance here: “can be compared with.”
  4. 47 Heb “All of your desires do not compare with her.”
