12:21 His servants said to him, “What is this that you have done? While1 the child was still alive, you fasted and wept. Once the child was dead you got up and ate food!”
[12:21]1tc For the MT בַּעֲבוּר (ba’avur, “for the sake of”) we should probably read בְּעוֹד (bÿ’od, “while”). See the Lucianic Greek recension, the Syriac Peshitta, and the Targum.
