[38:34]  1 tc The LXX has “answer you,” and some editors have adopted this. However, the reading of the MT makes better sense in the verse.

[20:6]  2 tn The word שִׂיא (si’) has been connected with the verb נָשָׂא (nasa’, “to lift up”), and so interpreted here as “pride.” The form is parallel to “head” in the next part, and so here it refers to his stature, the part that rises up and is crowned. But the verse does describe the pride of such a person, with his head in the heavens.
