| NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “Its shattering is like the shattering of a jug of [i.e., “made by”] potters, [so] shattered one cannot save [any of it].” 2 tn The words “large enough” are supplied in the translation for clarification. 3 tn Heb “to remove fire from the place of kindling.” 4 tn On the meaning of גֶבֶא (geveh, “cistern”) see HALOT 170 s.v. |
