[1047] Literally: _let none be unfaithful to the wife of thy youth_, a curious instance of the Hebrew habit of mixing the pronominal references. Wellhausen’s emendation is unnecessary.
[1048] See Gesenius and Ewald for Arabic analogies for the use of clothing = wife.
[1049] See above, p. 340.
[1050] Wellhausen omits.
[1051] Heb. עֵר וְעֹנֶה, _caller and answerer_. But LXX. read עד, _witness_ (see iii. 5), though it pointed it differently.
[1052] 13_a_, _But secondly ye do this_, is the obvious addition of the editor in order to connect his intrusion with what follows.
[1053] See above, pp. 311, 313 f.
[1054] Delete _silver_: the longer LXX. text shows how easily it was added.
[1055] _Made an end of_, reading the verb as Piel (Orelli). LXX. _refrain from_. _Your sins_ are understood, the sins which have always characterised the people. LXX. connects the opening of the next verse with this, and with a different reading of the first word translates _from the sins of your fathers_.
[1056] Heb. קבע, only here and Prov. xxii. 32. LXX. read עקב, _supplant_, _cheat_, which Wellhausen adopts.
[1057] תְּרוּמָה, _the heave offering_, the tax or tribute given to the sanctuary or priests and associates with the tithes, as here in Deut. xii. 11, to be eaten by the offerer (_ib._ 17), but in Ezekiel by the priests (xliv. 30); taken by the people and the Levites to the Temple treasury for the priests (Neh. x. 38, xii. 44): corn, wine and oil. In the Priestly Writing it signifies the part of each sacrifice which was the priests’ due. Ezekiel also uses it of the part of the Holy Land that fell to the prince and priests.
[1058] טֵרֶף in its later meaning: cf. Job xxiv. 5; Prov. xxxi. 15.
[1059] _I.e._ locust.
[1060] _A dew of lights._ See _Isaiah i.—xxxix._ (Expositor’s Bible), pp. 448 f.
[1061] So LXX.; Heb. _then_.
[1062] Ezek. xiii. 9.
[1063] חשב, _to think_, _plan_, has much the same meaning as here in Isa. xiii. 17, xxxiii. 8, liii. 3.
[1064] Heb. _when I am doing_; but in the sense in which the word is used of Jehovah’s decisive and final doing, Psalms xx., xxxii., etc.
[1065] Hab. i. 8.
[1066] See note to Amos vi. 4: Vol. I., p. 174, n. 3.
[1067] Or _dust_.
