| NET © Notes |
1 tn Or “I also” (see HALOT 76 s.v. אַף 6.b). 2 tn Heb “soul.” These expressions may refer either to the physical effects of consumption and fever as the rendering in the text suggests (e.g., J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 452, 454, “diminishing eyesight and loss of appetite”), or perhaps the more psychological effects, “which exhausts the eyes” because of anxious hope “and causes depression” (Heb “causes soul [נֶפֶשׁ, nefesh] to pine away”), e.g., B. A. Levine, Leviticus (JPSTC), 185. 3 tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have causal force here. 4 tn That is, “your enemies will eat” the produce that grows from the sown seed. |
