Let all the displeasure which is in thy heart against me be removed.

Notes.

There is a very great difference between the earlier and the later texts of this chapter. Former translators, having chiefly the Turin text before them, have understood the title of the chapter as intended “to remove the impurities from the heart of the deceased person.” The Turin text of the chapter is really unintelligible, and even in the earlier texts certain passages are so corrupt as to defy translation.

like the Latin ‘mittere’ has the sense of “let go, give free course, set at liberty.”
