Footnotes

  1. 24 Or “fathers’ sins.”
  2. 25 Heb “not be wiped out.” According to ancient Israelite theology and its doctrine of corporate solidarity and responsibility, children could be and often were punished for the sins of their parents. For a discussion of this issue see J. Kaminsky, Corporate Responsibility in the Hebrew Bible (). (Kaminsky, however, does not deal with Ps 109.)
