Fußnoten
(a)9:2
Gavest him a sword, etc: The justice of God is here praised, in punishing by the sword of Simeon the crime of the Sichemites: and not the act of Simeon, which was justly condemned by his father, Gen. 49:5. Though even with regard to this act, we may distinguish between his zeal against the crime committed by the ravishers of his sister, which zeal may be considered just: and the manner of his punishing that crime, which was irregular and excessive.(Challoner)
(b)9:13 This last phrase is unusual. It literally says ‘from my lips of love (or affection).’ The meaning is that her lips are attractive, both in appearance and by charming words. She intends to trip him up by his attraction for her.(Conte)
