Note to Anon Andr 3VII

[6-7] bjóðandi sier fríða faðminn ‘offering him his fair embrace’: There appears to be a deliberate parallelism here with the description in st. 1/1-3 of Andrew’s eager advance to the hæsta faðminn ‘highest embrace’ of God’s love. As the ultimate reward for ‘offering peace to nations’ (bjóðandi frið þjóðum 1/4), the Apostle is himself ‘offer[ed] [God’s] fair embrace’ (3/5-7).
