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, סְבָךְ sebak. Interwoven branches, i.e. thicket. Here only with the definite article. Apparently a specific “thicket”. This is a noun from the verb root סָבַךְ sabak (#5440) to interweave, entwine, plait. The “thicket” in particular is therefore an “internet” of branches which “takes hold” or “grasps” the “ram”.

756

Hebrew קַרְנָ֑יו dual form of Strong’s #7161, qeren. Horn pair.
