Footnotes

  1. 27 Or “if.”
  2. 28 The meaning of the Hebrew word translated “sheepfolds” is uncertain. There may be an echo of Judg 5:16 here.
  3. 29 Heb “and her pinions with the yellow of gold.” The point of the imagery of v. 13 is not certain, though the reference to silver and gold appears to be positive. Both would be part of the loot carried away from battle (see v. 12b).
