Footnotes
- 36 The Hebrew expression means “lily of the testimony.” It may refer to a particular music style or to a tune title.
- 37 The precise meaning of the Hebrew word מִכְתָּם (miktam), which also appears in the heading to Pss 16, 56–59, is uncertain. defines it as “inscription.”
- 38 Heb “to teach.”
- 39 In Josh 8:21 and Judg 20:48 the two verbs “turn back” and “strike down” are also juxtaposed. There they refer to a military counter-attack.
- 40 Heb “12,000 of Edom.” Perhaps one should read אֲרַם (’aram, “Aram”) here rather than אֱדוֹם (’edom, “Edom”).
- 41 The heading apparently refers to the military campaign recorded in 2 Sam 10 and 1 Chr 19.
