Footnotes
| 753 | A.k.a ram. See note on Genesis 15:9. |
| 754 | Strong’s #270, achaz. To grasp, take hold, catch with hand. Very particular to the action of a hand. |
| 755 | Strong’s #5442, סבך sebak. Interwoven, interweb, i.e. thicket. Here only with the definite article. It is a specific “thicket,” something interwoven, interconnected, like a net. The presence of the definite article means it should not be merely a thicket or something interwoven. This is a noun from the verb root סבך sabak (#5440) to interweave, entwine, plait. The “thicket” in particular is therefore an “internet” of branches which “takes hold” or “grasps” the “chief ram.” |
| 756 | Hebrew קרניו dual form of Strong’s #7161, qeren. Horn pair, feminine |
