| NET Notes |
1 tn The construction is a participle in construct followed by the genitive “wings” – “spreaders of wings.” 2 tn “The cherubim” has been placed here instead of in the second clause to produce a smoother translation. 3 tn Heb “and their faces a man to his brother.” 4 tn Heb “to the atonement lid were the faces of the cherubim.” |
