¹ tn Heb “and.” The vav probably denotes purpose/result.

² tn Heb “they will be.”

³ tn Heb “your soul.” The noun נַפְשֶׁךָ (nafshekha, “your soul”) is a synecdoche of part (= inner soul) for the whole person (= you); see BDB 600 s.v. 4.a.2.

⁴ tn The phrase “to adorn” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for the sake of clarity and smoothness.

⁵ tn Heb “grace for your neck.” See note on 1:9.
