Footnotes
- 13 That is, the king (see vv. 2, 4).
- 14 The rare term zg refers to a sheep’s fleece in Deut 18:4 and Job 31:20, but to “mown” grass or crops here and in Amos 7:1.
- 15 The form in the Hebrew text appears to be an otherwise unattested noun. Many prefer to emend the form to a verb from the root זָרַף (zaraf). in textual note b on this verse suggests a Hiphil imperfect, third masculine plural יַזְרִיפוּ (yazrifu), while *זרף prefers a Pilpel perfect, third masculine plural זִרְזְפוּ (zirzéfu). The translation assumes the latter.
- 16 The imagery of this verse compares the blessings produced by the king’s reign to fructifying rains that cause the crops to grow.
