Footnotes

  1. 25 The meaning of the Hebrew term עַלְמוּת (’almut) is uncertain. Some divide the form into עַל מוּת (’al mut, “according to the death [of the son]”), while the assumes a reading עֲלֻמוֹת עַל (’al ’alumot, “according to alumoth”). The phrase probably refers to a particular tune or musical style.
