1 tn Heb “on him.” 2 tn Heb “the seven days [during] which they held the party.” This does not mean she cried for the entire seven days; v. 15 indicates otherwise. She cried for the remainder of the seven day period, beginning on the fourth day. 3 tn Heb “because she forced him.” 4 tn Heb “she told the riddle to the sons of her people.” |
