[14:31]  1 tn Or “plunder.”

[14:31]  2 tn Heb “know.”

[1:39]  3 tn Heb “would be a prey.”

[1:39]  4 sn Do not know good from bad. This is a figure of speech called a merism (suggesting a whole by referring to its extreme opposites). Other examples are the tree of “the knowledge of good and evil” (Gen 2:9), the boy who knows enough “to reject the wrong and choose the right” (Isa 7:16; 8:4), and those who “cannot tell their right hand from their left” (Jonah 4:11). A young child is characterized by lack of knowledge.
