[22:7]  ⁶ tn Heb “treated lightly, cursed.”

[22:7]  ⁷ tn Widows and orphans are often coupled together in the OT (Deut 14:29; 16:11, 14; 24:19-21; 26:12-13; Jer 7:6; 22:3). They represented all who were poor and vulnerable to economic exploitation.

[22:13]  ⁸ sn This gesture apparently expresses mourning and/or anger (see 6:11; 21:14, 17).

See as well E. Yamauchi, Foes From the Northern Frontier, 19-27.
