(1.00) | (Lam 4:5) | 5 tn Heb “embrace garbage.” One may also translate “rummage through” (cf. NCV “pick through trash piles”; TEV “pawing through refuse”; NLT “search the garbage pits”). |
(1.00) | (Psa 22:20) | 4 tn Heb “from the hand.” Here “hand” is understood by metonymy as a reference to the “paw” and thus the “claws” of the wild dogs. |
(1.00) | (Job 39:21) | 1 tc The Hebrew text has a plural verb, “they paw.” For consistency and for stylistic reasons this is translated as a singular. |
(0.50) | (Jer 50:11) | 3 tc Reading כְּעֶגְלֵי דֶשֶׁא (keʿegle desheʾ) or כְּעֵגֶל בַּדֶּשֶׁא (keʿegel baddesheʾ), as presupposed by the Greek and Latin versions (cf. BHS note d-d), in place of the reading in the Hebrew text, כְּעֶגְלָה דָשָׁה (keʿeglah dashah, “like a heifer treading out the grain”), which does not fit the verb (פּוּשׁ [push] = “spring about” [BDB 807 s.v. I פּוּשׁ] or “paw the ground” [KBL 756 s.v. פּוּשׁ]; compare Mal 3:20 for usage). This variant reading is also accepted by J. Bright, J. A. Thompson, F. B. Huey, and G. L. Keown, P. J. Scalise, T. G. Smothers. |
