Footnote

“Will certainly bless themselves.” The Heb. verb is in the reflexive, or hith·pa·ʽelʹ form, and so differs from the same verb in the niphʹʽal form in 12:3b, which at times has the passive meaning but more frequently has the reflexive meaning as it is rendered there. LXXSyVg, “will be blessed,” the same as in 12:3b. Compare De 29:19.
