Context 17:21 All the choice men1 among his troops will die2 by the sword and the survivors will be scattered to every wind. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken!
[17:21]1tc Some manuscripts and versions read “choice men,” while most manuscripts read “fugitives”; the difference arises from the reversal, or metathesis, of two letters, מִבְרָחָיו (mivrakhyv) for מִבְחָריו (mivkharyv).
