NET Notes

¹tn The first word of the fifth line begins with ה (he), the fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

²sn The point of the simile is that she goes wherever she needs to go, near and far, to gather in all the food for the needs and the likes of the family. The line captures the vision and the industry of this woman.
