NET Notes

1 tn The word גֵּו (gev) is an Aramaic term meaning “midst,” indicating “midst [of society].” But there is also a Phoenician word that means “community” (DISO 48).

2 tn The form simply is the plural verb, but it means those who drove them from society.

3 tn The text merely says “as thieves,” but it obviously compares the poor to the thieves.
