  • According to our interpretation of this difficult verse, the lamed preposition on לִקְדוֹשִׁים describes the others as being on the side of the holy ones and the mighty ones (cf. Exod 32:26; Josh 5:13; Ps 120:7).[1] See The Text and Grammar of Psalm16:3 for a detailed discussion of the issues and of other possible interpretations of the lamed.
  1. ↑ This use of lamed might be viewed as an extension of the frequent use of lamed to indicate belonging.
