1 tn The participle expresses the repeated or regular nature of the action. 2 tn The Hebrew noun חֻפָּה (khufah, “chamber”) occurs elsewhere only in Isa 4:5 and Joel 2:16 (where it refers to the bedroom of a bride and groom). sn Like a bridegroom. The metaphor likens the sun to a bridegroom who rejoices on his wedding night. 3 tn The imperfect verbal form draws attention to the regularity of the action. 4 tn Heb “[on] a path.” sn Like a strong man. The metaphorical language reflects the brilliance of the sunrise, which attests to the sun’s vigor. |
