Footnotes

  1. 8 The construction features a cognate accusative (verb and noun from same root). The preposition בּ (bet) has the partitive use “some” ( §119.m).
  2. 9 The final verb actually stands in a relative clause although the relative pronoun is not present; it modifies “wine.” The expressions “eat” and “drink” carry the implied comparison forward; they mean that the simple are to appropriate the teachings of wisdom.
