334. I know there none who does not tremble; a parenthesis which would
be better placed before l. 333. #ðat he# is practically equivalent to
who.
336. #after bodeword ðin#, in accordance with your commandment; comp.
‘for ðhu min bode-word haues broken,’ GE 361.
339. #ouerwente#: an isolated past of *ouerwenden, in the intransitive
use recorded in NED., to go over, pass over; giving the meaning, his
heart went out to him forthwith. But the absence of to before him
renders this explanation doubtful. More probably #him# refers to Joseph
and reinforces #his#, as in ‘þat his ribbes him to brake,’ KH 1077 (see
also 80/47 note), with meaning, his heart overflowed forthwith. C. has,
‘commota sunt viscera eius.’
