Footnotes
- 38 The infinitive construct “calling out” functions epexegetically in the sentence, explaining how the previous action was accomplished.
- 39 The term “her” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied for the sake of clarity and smoothness.
- 40 The noun is a genitive of location after the construct participle. Its parallel word is also an adverbial accusative of location.
- 41 The participle modifies the participle in the first colon. To describe the passers-by in this context as those “who go straight” means that they are quiet and unwary.
