68:16Why do you look with envy,36 O mountains37 with many peaks,
at the mountain where God has decided to live?38
Footnotes
- 36 The meaning of the Hebrew verb רָצַד (ratsad), translated here “look with envy,” is uncertain; it occurs only here in the OT. See 952–53. A cognate verb occurs in later Aramaic with the meaning “to lie in wait; to watch” ( 1492 רְצַד).
- 37 Perhaps the apparent plural form should be read as a singular with enclitic mem (ם; later misinterpreted as a plural ending). The preceding verse has the singular form.
- 38 Heb “[at] the mountain God desires for his dwelling place.” The reference is to Mount Zion/Jerusalem.
- 39 The Hebrew particle אַף (’af) has an emphasizing function here.
- 40 The word “there” is supplied in the translation for clarification.
