NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “and in the seventh year a Sabbath of complete rest shall be to the land.” The expression “a Sabbath of complete rest” is superlative, emphasizing the full and all inclusive rest of the seventh year of the sabbatical cycle. Cf. ASV “a sabbath of solemn rest”; NAB “a complete rest.” 2 tn Heb “and.” Here the Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) has an alternative sense (“or”). |
