  • מִקְצֵה: The manuscript 11QPs-c has מקצי. "Cf. the quotation of Deut 13:8 in 11Q20 (Temple-b) XVI 4, where MT מקצה is written מקצי. The form מקצי may be singular (orthographic variant of מקצה) or plural" (DJD XXIII, 60).
  • BHS proposes עד for על (cf. LXX εως). "Some mss. reading עד, not על, but the correction is unnecessary; the preposition implies a verb of motion such as 'extend' (IBHS, p. 224, P. 11.4.3d)" (Waltke 2010, 363).
