text: Or “serve.”


text: The present translation (like most modern translations) follows the Qere (marginal reading), which reads literally, “and to him [are] we.” The Kethib (consonantal text) has “and not we.” The suffixed preposition לו (“to him”) was confused aurally with the negative particle לא because the two sound identical.


text: Or “is forever.”


text: Heb “and to a generation and a generation [is] his faithfulness.”
