v. 3a – For the emendation towards singular הַר "mount," for the MT's plural הַרְרֵ֪י "hills," see 11Q5, the Syr.[1] and Kennicott ms 39.[2] It is likely, however, that (although very early in the case of 11Q5) this represents a simplification to the more common phrase הר ציון (appearing twenty times in the Bible).[3]

  1. ↑ ܐܝܟ ܛܠܐ ܕܚܪܡܘܢ ܕܢܚܬ ܥܠ ܛܘܪܐ ܕܨܗܝܘܢ "It is as if the dew of Hermon were descending on mount Zion" (Taylor 2020, 559).
  2. ↑ See VTH vol. IV, 425.
  3. ↑ Alternatively, the morphological plural could be understood as one of "generalization," with a singular denotation (so JM §136j).
