NET Notes |
1 tn Aram “were trembling and fearing.” This can be treated as a hendiadys, “were trembling with fear.” 2 tn Aram “let live.” This Aramaic form is the aphel participle of חַיָה(khayah, “to live”). Theodotion and the Vulgate mistakenly take the form to be from מְחָא (mÿkha’, “to smite”). |
