Mazmur 126:6

126:6 The one who weeps as he walks along, carrying his bag ¹  of seed,

will certainly come in with a shout of joy, carrying his sheaves of grain. ² 

[126:6]  ¹ tn The noun occurs only here and in Job 28:18 in the OT. See HALOT 646 s.v. I מֶשֶׁךְ which gives “leather pouch” as the meaning.

[126:6]  ² tn The Hebrew noun אֲלֻמָּה (’alummah, “sheaf”) occurs only here and in Gen 37:7 in the OT.

[126:6]  sn Verse 6 expands the image of v. 5. See the note on the word “harvest” there.
