55:6 I say, 1 “I wish I had wings like a dove!
I would fly away and settle in a safe place!
68:13 When 2 you lie down among the sheepfolds, 3
the wings of the dove are covered with silver
and with glittering gold. 4
1 tn The prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) consecutive carries on the descriptive (present progressive) force of the verbs in v. 5.
2 tn Or “if.”
3 tn The meaning of the Hebrew word translated “sheepfolds” is uncertain. There may be an echo of Judg 5:16 here.
4 tn Heb “and her pinions with the yellow of gold.”
