1 tn Heb “the ships of Tarshish.” This probably refers to large ships either made in or capable of traveling to the distant western port of Tarshish. 2 tn Heb “desirable”; NAB, NIV “stately”; NRSV “beautiful.” 3 tn On the meaning of this word, which appears only here in the Hebrew Bible, see H. R. Cohen, Biblical Hapax Legomena (SBLDS), 41-42. sn The ships mentioned in this verse were the best of their class, and therefore an apt metaphor for the proud men being denounced in this speech. |
