3:12Now yes, it is true that44 I am a guardian,45 but there is another guardian who is a closer relative than I am.
Footnotes
- 44 The sequence כִּי אָמְנָם כִּי אִם (ki ’omnam ki ’im; Kethib) occurs only here in the OT, as does the sequence כִּי אָמְנָם כִּי (Qere). It is likely that כִּי אִם is dittographic (note the preceding sequence כִּי אָמְנָם). The translation assumes that the original text was simply the otherwise unattested וְעַתָּה כִּי אָמְנָם, with אָמְנָם and כִּי both having an asseverative (or emphatic) function.
- 45 Sometimes translated “redeemer” (also later in this verse). See the note on the phrase “guardian of the family interests” in v. .
