[105:16]  ¹ tn Heb “and every staff of food he broke.” The psalmist refers to the famine that occurred in Joseph’s time (see v. 17 and Gen 41:53-57).

[132:15]  ² tn Heb “I will greatly bless her provision.” The infinitive absolute is used to emphasize the verb.

[132:15]  ³ tn Heb “her poor I will satisfy [with] food.”

[144:13]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew noun occurs only here.

[144:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “from kind to kind.” Some prefer to emend the text to מָזוֹן עַל מָזוֹן (mazon ’al mazon, “food upon food”).

[144:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “they are innumerable.”

[144:13]  ⁷ tn Heb “in outside places.” Here the term refers to pastures and fields (see Job 5:10; Prov 8:26).
