NET Notes |
1 tn One could also translate the imperfect tense here with a repetitive force like “begged him repeatedly.” 2 tn Or “command.” 3 tn This word, ἄβυσσος (abusso"), is a term for the place where the dead await the judgment. It also could hold hostile spirits according to Jewish belief (Jub. 5:6-7; 1 En. 10:4-6; 18:11-16). |
