It relates to the same verse. The footnote I gave is, if memory serves me right, just before that excerpt you posted.

The excerpt you gave is rather confusing. I think Yusuf Ali explained it in his translation, but I didn't write it down when I did for my previous post. I'll have a check on it and see if he can shed some light on it.
