Footnotes
| 581 | Hebrew ביום ההוא. In-the-Day of Himself. Or, The Day of Him. The pronoun he + the definite article the means a very specific person or thing. Translators often chose the more ambiguous “that” which is not a relative pronoun. Who is “that one” other than “himself”? If not himself than we are left with an unidentified day. |
| 582 | Strong’s #3772, karat. To cut off. This is the standard word for covenant “making” and is based on the imagery of circumcision in which the foreskin is cut off, and those who are uncircumcised are cut off (Gen. 17:14). Remember this as, things get more interesting in Chapter 17. |
| 583 | Is Father-of-Tumult a branch cut off from a tree? Grafted in? Strong's #1285 ברית (berit), covenant, is linked to the root ברה, meaning to eat/feed/select.
