Footnotes
207 | causing to bear in his copy. The Scripture deliberately omits the word “a builder [son]” because the passage foreshadows something “causing to bear” many “Seths” (whose name means to set) just like his shadow-image (Jer. 3:19, Romans 8:29). Other sons and daughters (v.4) are not said to be in his image. |
