[51:12]  1 tc The plural suffix should probably be emended to the second masculine singular (which is used in v. 13). The final mem (ם) is probably dittographic; note the mem at the beginning of the next word.

[51:12]  2 tn Heb “Who are you that you are afraid of man who dies, and of the son of man who [as] grass is given up?” The feminine singular forms should probably be emended to the masculine singular (see v. 13). They have probably been influenced by the construction אַתְּ־הִיא (’at-hi’) in vv. 9-10.

[56:2]  3 tn Heb “blessed is the man who does this.”

[56:2]  4 tn Heb “the son of mankind who takes hold of it.”

[56:2]  5 tn Heb and who keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
