NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “choice” or “select.” 2 tn Elisha places the object first and uses an imperfect verb form. The stylistic shift may signal that he is now instructing them what to do, rather than merely predicting what would happen. 3 tn Heb “good.” 4 tn Heb “and ruin every good portion with stones.” |
