[31:26]  1 tn Heb “and you have stolen my heart.” This expression apparently means “to deceive” (see v. 20).

[31:26]  2 tn Heb “and you have led away my daughters like captives of a sword.”

[31:27]  3 tn Heb “Why did you hide in order to flee?” The verb “hide” and the infinitive “to flee” form a hendiadys, the infinitive becoming the main verb and the other the adverb: “flee secretly.”

[31:27]  4 tn Heb “and steal me.”

[31:27]  5 tn Heb “And [why did] you not tell me so I could send you off with joy and with songs, with a tambourine and with a harp?”
