¹ tn The meaning of the Hebrew term is primarily emotional: “to pity,” which in context implies an action, as in being moved by pity in order to spare them from the horror of their punishment.

² tn The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT.

³ tc So MT, LXX, and Vulgate; many Hebrew mss and Syriac read “Edom.”

⁴ tn Heb “ways.”

⁵ tn Heb “loathe yourselves in your faces.”
