[XeTeX] Polyglossia, bidi and hyperref

Dear xe(la)texers,
I can't seem to find a solution to a problem I encounter when I use polyglossia (for Hebrew) and hyperref. I get an error because bidi has been loaded before hyperref.  Naïvely, I tried to change the order of my packages (polyglossia after hyperref, against the rules I suppose), to no avail. I also tried to find information with texdoc or on the web, also to no avail. I'm posting my example and the console reading.  Any help appreciated.

Notes on Qeiyafa from the article by Puech (2010). 
Here is	the reconstituted text according to Puech, in right to left writing:

\setRL
\begin{verse}
\texthebrew{
1. אל תעשק : ועבד א'ל' : | : 'ב'זה\\
2. שפט (?) ובך אלמ'נ' (?) שלט\\
3. בגר .  ובעלל . קצמ(?) יחד :\\
4.  א'ד'ם ושרם יסד מלך :\\
5. חרם <ששם> עבדם : מדרת .\\
}
\end{verse}

\setLR
His translation:
\begin{french}
	\begin{verse}
	...\emph{Toi, (le/ton) compatriote/nécessiteux( ? )}]\\
	1. n'opprime pas, et sers Di\d{e}\d{u}. : | : L\emph{e/a} spoliait\\
	2. le juge et la veuve pleurait; il avait pouvoir\\
	3. sur l'étranger résidant et sur l'enfant, il \emph{les supprimait} ensemble.\\
	4. Les hommes et \emph{les} chefs/officiers ont établi un roi.\\
	5. Il a marqué <soixante> serviteurs parmi les communautés/habitations/générations.
\end{verse}
\end{french}
