Mazmur 127:3

127:3 Yes, ¹³  sons ¹⁴  are a gift from the Lord,

the fruit of the womb is a reward.

[30:17]  ¹ tn Heb “listened to.”

[30:17]  ² tn Or “she conceived” (also in v. 19).

[30:17]  ³ tn Heb “and she bore for Jacob a fifth son,” i.e., this was the fifth son that Leah had given Jacob.

[30:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “remembered.”

[30:22]  ⁵ tn Heb “and God listened to her and opened up her womb.” Since “God” is the subject of the previous clause, the noun has been replaced by the pronoun “he” in the translation for stylistic reasons

[30:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “Rachel.” The proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“she”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[30:1]  ⁷ tn Heb “sons.”

[1:23]  ⁸ tn Heb “what is good in your eyes.”

[1:23]  ⁹ tn Heb “establish his word.” This apparently refers to the promise inherent in Eli’s priestly blessing (see v. 17).

[1:1]  ¹⁰ tc The translation follows the MT. The LXX reads “a man from Ramathaim, a Zuphite”; this is followed by a number of recent English translations. It is possible the MT reading צוֹפִים (tsofim) arose from dittography of the mem (מ) at the beginning of the following word.

[5:20]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and they were helped against them and they were given over into their hand, the Hagrites and all who were with them, for to God they cried out in the battle and he was entreated [or “allowed himself to be entreated”] by them for they trusted in him.”

[5:2]  ¹² tn Heb “and [one] for a leader [was] from him.” This probably refers to the Davidic king.

[127:3]  ¹³ tn or “look.”

[127:3]  ¹⁴ tn Some prefer to translate this term with the gender neutral “children,” but “sons” are plainly in view here, as the following verses make clear. Daughters are certainly wonderful additions to a family, but in ancient Israelite culture sons were the “arrows” that gave a man security in his old age, for they could defend the family interests at the city gate, where the legal and economic issues of the community were settled.
