1 tn Heb “he must give.” The 3rd person masculine singular suffix on יִתְּנֶנּוּ (yittÿnennu, Qal imperfect 3rd person masculine singular from נָתַן, natan, “to give” + 3rd person masculine singular suffix) refers back to עֲמָלוֹ (’amalo, “his labor”) which is treated in this line as a metonymy of cause for effect, that is, “he must give it” = “he must give his labor” = “he must give the fruit of his labor.” |

4 tn Heb “both.” The term “warnings” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for clarity.

Barthélemy, ed., Preliminary and Interim Report on the Hebrew Old Testament Text Project, 3:580–81. |
