| NET© Notes |
1 tn Or “in its den.” 2 tn The verb, which also appears in the next line, occurs only here and in Judg 21:21. 3 tn The singular form is collective (see v. 10) or refers to the typical or representative oppressed individual. 4 tn Or “when he [i.e., the wicked man] pulls in his net.” sn The background of the imagery is hunting, where the hunter uses a net to entrap an unsuspecting bird or wild animal. |
