1 tn Heb “fruit.” The next line makes it clear that offspring is in view.
2 tn Heb “seed.”
3 tn Heb “sons of man.”
4 tn Heb “they are an arm for the sons of Lot.” The “arm” is here a symbol of military might.
sn The descendants of Lot were the Moabites and Ammonites.
5 tn Or “offspring”; Heb “seed.”
6 tn Heb “and to cause their offspring to fall.” Some emend the verb to “scatter” to form tighter parallelism with the following line (cf. NRSV “disperse”).
7 tn Heb “among the lands.” The word “foreign” is supplied in the translation for clarification.
8 tn Or “offspring”; Heb “seed.”
9 tn Heb “His seed will be mighty on the earth, the generation of the godly.” The Hebrew term דוֹר (dor, “generation”) could be taken as parallel to “offspring” and translated “posterity,” but the singular more likely refers to the godly as a class. See BDB 189-90 s.v. for other examples where “generation” refers to a class of people.
