Psalm 24/Notes/Lexical.v. 4.269471

v. 4 – In light of the following clause's clarification of the contextual domain as that of deceitful swearing, the sense of שָׁוְא as "falsehood" has been preferred here, rather than that of "futility" or "delusion" (SDBH) or even "idols." See further the Venn diagram and the discussion in the exegetical issue, The Text and Meaning of Ps 24:4b. Indeed, in the v. 4c clause the LXX supplies "to his neighbor" (καὶ οὐκ ὤμοσεν ἐπὶ δόλῳ τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ), clarifying that the sense of idol worship is altogether absent in this line, and probably also the previous line.
