71 The reason being that Moshe said a special prayer that
Yehudah's bones should no longer rattle in the coffin as his remains

that.
85 Here, {Hebrew Ref} means not.

89 In the moving of people from city to city.
90 This
should not be taken to mean that he transferred the people who lived at
one end of Egypt to the other end because, then, what would he have
done with those living in central Egypt?
