Footnotes

  1. 27 Heb “may the Lord give to you, and find rest, each [in] the house of her husband.” The syntax is unusual, but following the jussive (“may he give”), the imperative with vav (ו) conjunctive (“and find”) probably indicates the purpose or consequence of the preceding action: “May he enable you to find rest.”
  2. 28 Heb “rest.” While the basic meaning of מְנוּחָה (ménukhah) is “rest,” it often refers to “security,” such as provided in marriage ( 629–30 ; ). Thus English versions render it in three different but related ways: (1) the basic sense: “rest” (, , , ); (2) the metonymical cause/effect sense: “security” (, , , , ); and (3) the referential sense: “home” (, , , ).
  3. 29 Heb “in the house of her husband” (so , ); “your husband.”
  4. 30 Heb “they lifted their voice[s] and wept” (, , all similar). This refers to loud weeping characteristic of those mourning a tragedy (Judg 21:2; 2 Sam 13:36; Job 2:12).
