tn The Hebrew preposition מִן (min) is used here with the verb עָמַד (’amad, “to stand”). It probably has a sense of separation (“stand away from”), although it may also be understood in an adversative sense (“stand against”).

sn This king of the south refers to Ptolemy IV Philopator (ca. 221-204 B.C.).
