1 tn Or “word” or “event.” See HALOT 1915 s.v. מִלָּה.
2 tn The Aramaic term מְנֵא (mÿne’) is a noun referring to a measure of weight. The linkage here to the verb “to number” (Aram. מְנָה, mÿnah) is a case of paronomasia rather than strict etymology.

3 tn Or “royal greatness and majestic honor,” if the four terms are understood as a double hendiadys.
