| NET © Notes |
1 tc The translation reads יִסַּד (yissad, “he appointed” [= determined]) rather than the reading יְסֻד (yÿsud, “foundation”) of the MT. (The words “to make” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.) 2 sn Apparently it took the caravan almost four months to make the five hundred mile journey. |
