NET Notes: Lam 4:10

¹ tn Heb “the hands of compassionate women.”

² tn Heb “eating.” The infinitive construct (from I בָּרָה, barah) is translated as a noun. Three passages employ the verb (2 Sam 3:35; 12:17; 13:5,6,10) for eating when ill or in mourning.

³ tn Heb “the daughter of my people.”

⁴ tn Heb “in the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
