Footnotes

  1. 12 The prefixed verbal forms (except those with vav [ו] consecutive) in vv. 8–20 are taken as jussives of prayer. Note the distinct jussive forms used in vv. 12–13, 15, 19.
  2. 13 The Hebrew noun פְּקֻדָּה (péquddah) can mean “charge” or “office,” though 824 suggests that here it refers to his possessions.
