text: The Hebrew text reads מֶרְכָּבָה ( merkavah , “chariot”), but the final he ( ה ) is probably dittographic – note the prefixed he ( ה ) on the immediately following word. It is preferable to read מֶרְכָּב ( merkav , “seat”).


text: The Hebrew text does not have “their wings,” but the word כְּנָפַיִם ( kÿnafayim , “wings”) has probably been accidentally omitted by homoioteleuton. Note that the immediately preceding לְפֹרְשִׂים ( lÿforsim ) also ends in mem ( ם ).
