Footnotes

  1. 126 Heb “wither, wear out.”
  2. 127 The meaning of חָרַג (kharag, “shake”) is established on the basis of cognates in Arabic and Aramaic. 2 Sam 22:46 reads חָגַר (khagar), which might mean here, “[they] come limping” (on the basis of a cognate in postbiblical Hebrew). The normal meaning for חָגַר (“gird”) makes little sense here.
  3. 128 Heb “from.”
  4. 129 Heb “their prisons.” The besieged cities of the foreigners are compared to prisons.
