v. 4 – The lamed in the prepositional phrase לְמִרְמָֽה functions as specification, in similar manner to לָבֶטַח "as far as confidence," i.e. "securely" (BHRG §39.11.6.b; cf. IBHS §11.2.10.d "class and type"), so rendered "deceitfully" (DCH).[1]

  1. ↑ This is also reflected in Jerome's dolose and the choice of a ܒ preposition of manner/means in the Peshitta's ܒܢܟܠܐ "with deceit" ➞ "deceitfully" (Taylor 2020, 83).
