v. 33 – For the alternative PP כַּהֶבֶל in place of the MT's בַּהֶ֥בֶל, see Aquila's "and he finished their days like vapor."[1] (Cf. the ESV's "So he made their days vanish like a breath").

There is no known Hebrew manuscript evidence for the LXX's ἐξέλιπον (וַיִּכְלוּ) in place of the MT's piel singular וַיְכַל.[2]

  1. καὶ συνετέλεσεν ὡς ἀτμὸν τὰς ἡμέρας αὐτῶν.
  2. Cf. also the Syr. ܓܡܪܘ ܒܣܪܝܩܘܬܐ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܗܘܢ "they ended their days in vanity."
