WK Translation Notes

+
a
I have given "everlasting" rather than "eternal" as in the RV, because it fairly admits of a modified sense when applied to "times," as in {vi 28362}{/vi}, and {vi 29895}{/vi}, as well as here; just as "forever" when spoken of living man on earth is similarly used. Others who hold the same sense prefer "age-times" or "ages of times." "Eternal", though certainly the unmodified meaning, hardly consists with "times."
