Footnotes

  1. 49 To form a better parallel some commentators read this infinitive בַּעֲזוֹז (ba’azoz), “when [they] grew strong,” as a Piel causative, “when he made firm, fixed fast” (cf. “fixed securely”; “established”). But the following verse (“should not pass over”) implies the meaning “grew strong” here.
