FOOTNOTES:
F25 (Mdb) "per sanguinem", Piscator.

Or [if] I send a pestilence into that land
Or the plague, which is the destruction that wastes at noon day;
this is from the Lord, and a sore judgment it is: and pour
out my fury upon it in blood;
or, "by blood" F25; by corrupting the blood, which is
done when a man is seized with the pestilence. The Targum renders
it, "with slaughter"; by slaying a great number of persons by
that disease, as a token of fury and wrath, because of their
transgressions. It may be rendered, "because of blood"
F26; and so express the cause and
reason of the judgment, the shedding of innocent blood: to
cut off from it man and beast;
man by the pestilence, and beast by some contagious distemper or
another.
