NET © Notes |
1 tn Grk “to eat his fill,” but this phrase has been simplified as “to eat” for stylistic reasons. 2 tn The term κύνες (kunes) refers to “wild” dogs (either “street” dogs or watchdogs), not house pets (L&N 4.34). 3 sn When the dogs came and licked his sores it meant that he was unclean. See the negative image of Rev 22:15 that draws on this picture. |
