Footnotes

  1. 64 The Kethib reads plurals: “those who find me are finders of life”; this is reflected in the and . But the Qere is singular: “whoever finds me finds life.” The Qere is generally favored as the original reading in such cases as these.
  2. 65 The preterite with vav (ו) consecutive carries the same nuance as the perfect tense that came before it, setting out the timeless principle.
