Footnotes

21

The Syriac, followed by MS B, reads, "My insides burned like an oven to look upon her; Therefore I obtained her as a good possession." The Greek reads, "My insides were troubled to seek after her; Therefore I obtained a good possession." The Hebrew acrostic supports "insides" against the late Greek reading "heart."
