NETBible

Like a bridegroom it emerges 1  from its chamber; 2  like a strong man it enjoys 3  running its course. 4 

NET Notes

1 tn The participle expresses the repeated or regular nature of the action.

2 tn The Hebrew noun חֻפָּה (khufah, “chamber”) occurs elsewhere only in Isa 4:5 and Joel 2:16 (where it refers to the bedroom of a bride and groom).

2 sn Like a bridegroom. The metaphor likens the sun to a bridegroom who rejoices on his wedding night.

3 tn The imperfect verbal form draws attention to the regularity of the action.

4 tn Heb “[on] a path.”

4 sn Like a strong man. The metaphorical language reflects the brilliance of the sunrise, which attests to the sun’s vigor.
