Footnotes
- 65 Heb “thus is the one.”
- 66 Heb “who goes in to” (so , ). The Hebrew verb בּוֹא (bo’, “to go in; to enter”) is used throughout scripture as a euphemism for the act of sexual intercourse. Cf. , , “who sleeps with”; “have sexual relations with.”
- 67 Heb “anyone who touches her will not.”
- 68 The verb “touches” is intended here to be a euphemism for illegal sexual contact (e.g., Gen 20:6).
- 69 Heb “will be exempt from”; , “will not go unpunished.”
- 70 The verb is יִנָּקֶה (yinnaqeh), the Niphal imperfect from נָקָה (naqah, “to be empty; to be clean”). From it we get the adjectives “clean,” “free from guilt,” “innocent.” The Niphal has the meanings (1) “to be cleaned out” (of a plundered city; e.g., Isa 3:26), (2) “to be clean; to be free from guilt; to be innocent” (Ps 19:14), (3) “to be free; to be exempt from punishment” [here], and (4) “to be free; to be exempt from obligation” (Gen 24:8).
