20:29 Such is the lot God allots the wicked,
and the heritage of his appointment 1 from God.”
27:13 This is the portion of the wicked man
allotted by God, 2
the inheritance that evildoers receive
from the Almighty.
1 tn For the word אִמְרוֹ (’imro) some propose reading “his appointment,” and the others, “his word.” Driver shows that “the heritage of his appointment” means “his appointed heritage” (see GKC 440 §135.n).
2 tn The expression “allotted by God” interprets the simple prepositional phrase in the text: “with/from God.”
