Footnotes
קוּמִי וְנֵלֵכָה (*qumi venelkhah*) — "Arise and let us go" — spoken by the Levite to a woman who is dead or dying, with no ceremony, no grief, no pause. The narrator gives us his words; he gives us no horror, no tenderness. The same man who came to her with daber al-libah — "to speak to her heart" (v. 3) — now addresses her corpse with the impatience of a man on a schedule. The moral distance between verse 3 and verse 28 is the abyss this chapter opens.
