Ps 16:3; Ps 40:6-8; Joh 4:34; Joh 13:1; 2Co 8:9

NET © Notes

tn The two words are synonymous in general and so could be taken to express a superlative idea – the “whole world” (cf. NIV, NCV). But תֵּבֵל (tevel) also means the inhabited world, and so the construct may be interpreted as a partitive genitive.

tn Heb “and my delights” [were] with/in.”

tn Heb “the sons of man.”
