COMMENTS

*1 Same metaphors in English--e.g. WALK on somebody
Perhaps use of this metaphor hints at the custom
of live burial of slaves in pyramids if they didnt
cooperate
*2 Radack in one of those charming Rashi-Radack controversies
suggests that Samech-Lamed-Lamed means LIFTING UP
- LIFT UP stones from the road (Is62-10)
- LIFT HER UP, exalt her (Pr04-08)
- HIGH paths to the house of God (2C09-11)
- you still EXALT yourself over my people (Ex09-17a)
