Note to Ník Jóndr 3VII

[2-3] deilandi sal sólar ‘sharing out the hall of the sun’: Following Bugge (1874, 933), this phrase is understood as ‘who gives/is giving (men) a share in the hall of the sun [HEAVEN]’ and thus as a reference to the entrance to heaven granted by Christ to men by means of his death on the Cross.
