Footnotes

412

in his days has the Earth been divided. Another cryptic allusion to Jesus, and more so the consummation of everything. Divided (Strong’s #6385) is from palag meaning to split up.

Swallow up, Master, divide [palag] their tongues, for I have seen violence and dispute in the City. Psalm 55:9 literal

a whole queen having been divided upon herself is made desolate, and a house is falling upon a house.” Luke 11:17 literal

See the participle also in Acts 14:4-5, and “those dividing tongues” Acts 2:3.

413

Joktan. Strong’s #3355, yoqtan. From #6994, qaton, small, insignificant.
