Footnotes

  2. 62 Heb “they will be.”
  3. 63 Heb “your soul.” The noun נַפְשֶׁךָ (nafshekha, “your soul”) is a synecdoche of part (= inner soul) for the whole person (= you); see 600 4.a.2.
  4. 64 The phrase “to adorn” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for the sake of clarity and smoothness.
  5. 65 Heb “grace for your neck.” See note on .
