6:35He will not consider84 any compensation;85
he will not be willing, even if you multiply the compensation.86
Footnotes
- 84 Heb “lift up the face of,” meaning “regard.”
- 85 The word rendered “compensation” is כֹּפֶר (cofer); it is essentially a ransom price, a sum to be paid to deliver another from debt, bondage, or crime. The husband cannot accept payment as a ransom for a life, since what has happened cannot be undone so easily.
- 86 1005 שֹׁחַד suggests that this term means “hush money” or “bribe” (cf. , , ). C. H. Toy takes it as legal compensation (Proverbs [], ).
