Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

קִנְאָ֥ה & נָקָֽם

jealousy & revenge

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of jealousy and vengeance, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: “being jealous … being avenged”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

חֲמַת־גָּ֑בֶר

fury husband

Here, heat refers to extreme anger, which causes the angry person’s body to become hot. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “is the rage of a man”

גָּ֑בֶר וְ⁠לֹֽא־יַ֝חְמ֗וֹל

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

וְ⁠לֹֽא־יַ֝חְמ֗וֹל

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ⁠לֹֽא־יַ֝חְמ֗וֹל

and=not show_~_mercy

Solomon is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the context if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and he will not spare the man who slept with his wife”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

בְּ⁠י֣וֹם נָקָֽם
