Footnotes

  1. 35 Heb “All of them.” The pronoun “them” refers not just to the sea creatures mentioned in vv. 25–26, but to all living things (see v. 24). This has been specified in the translation as “all of your creatures” for clarity.
  2. 36 Heb “to give their food in its time.”
  3. 37 Heb “they are satisfied [with] good.”
