Ambiguity implies several possible possible meanings. The third clause of the verse, in which the unclarity appears, is counterpoint to the first two clauses of the verse, which are both clear and unambiguous. So it is unlikely that the MT text, or that from which the MT text was derived is ambiguous. | |
