Footnotes
| 337 | Plural, the blood of you all. Strong’s #1875, darash. To seek, inquire. It can mean require in the sense of seeking revenge. The riddle here is making a distinction between blood singular and blood plural. Blood can be described as something in both the singular and the plural, “And they shed innocent blood -- Blood of their builders and of their built-ones, Whom they have sacrificed to idols of Canaan, And the land is profaned with bloods.” Psalm 106:38 YLT. |
