ExplanationCommentary
Verse 18. Daughter. Hebrew ban, “the son.” But bath, “daughter,” ( Bible.) occurs properly in some MSS. as in the ancient versions. Leusden has here this very odd note: “perhaps by ban, (with a pathah) here both sexes may be understood.” Forte per ban hic intelligitur uterque sexus. Kennicott—Prot. substitute, “daughter.” Bible.
