NET © Notes |
1 tn Or perhaps “break”; or “defeat.” 2 sn According to Gen 10:8-12, Nimrod, who was famous as a warrior and hunter, founded Assyria. 3 tc The MT reads “in her gates,” but the text should be emended to בַּפְּתִיחָה (baptikhah, “with a drawn sword”). 4 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the coming king) has been specified in the translation for clarity. |
