NET Notes

1 tn For the interrogative serving as a genitive, see GKC 442 §136.b.

2 sn The world was conceived of as having bases and pillars, but these poetic descriptions should not be pressed too far (e.g., see Ps 24:2, which may be worded as much for its polemics against Canaanite mythology as anything).
