Note 1 — Chapter CXXXIII
P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation
2661. Acquireth Might. does not signify wise, nor has it anything to do with instruction or perfection, as supposed by other translators. As an adjective it is used to qualify not only animate but inanimate things, such as an egg, beer, and incense. The well-known expressions and exactly correspond to the Hebrew עד מאד and מאד מאד. The notion implied, as in the Hebrew אוד, is that of strength.
