NET Notes

¹tn Perhaps the verb is used metonymically here in the sense of “advises” (note the following line).

²tn In this context רוּחַ (ruakh) likely refers to the Lord’s “mind,” or mental faculties, rather than his personal Spirit (see BDB 925 s.v.).

³tn Heb “or [as] the man of his counsel causes him to know?”
