NET © Notes

tn Heb “will arise and build.” The idiom “arise and…” means to begin the action described by the second verb.

tn Heb “portion or right or remembrance.” The expression is probably a hendiatris: The first two nouns retain their full nominal function, while the third noun functions adjectivally (“right or remembrance” = “ancient right”).
