[369] Heb. singular.
[370] Omit ופרשיו (evidently a dittography) and the lame יבאו which is omitted by LXX. and was probably inserted to afford a verb for the second פרשיו.
[371] Heb. sing., and so in all the clauses here except the next.
[372] A problematical rendering. מגמה is found only here, and probably means _direction_. Hitzig translates _desire_, _effort_, _striving_. קדימה, _towards the front_ or _forward_; but elsewhere it means only _eastward_: קדים, _the east wind_. Cf. Judg. v. 21, נחל קדומים נחל קישון, _a river of spates or rushes is the river Kishon_ (_Hist. Geog._, p. 395). Perhaps we should change פניהים to a singular suffix, as in the clauses before and after, and this would leave מ to form with קדימה a participle from הקדים (cf. Amos ix. 10).
[373] Or _their spirit changes_, or _they change like the wind_ (Wellhausen suggests כרוח). Grätz reads כֺּחַ and יַחֲלִיף, _he renews his strength_.
[374] Von Orelli. For אשׁם Wellhausen proposes וְיָשִׂם, _and sets_.
[375] _The wicked_ of chap. i. 4 must, as we have seen, be the same as _the wicked_ of chap. i. 13—a heathen oppressor of _the righteous_, _i.e._ the people of God.
