2 Tawarikh 7:14-15
Konteks7:14 if my people, who belong to me, 1 humble themselves, pray, seek to please me, 2 and repudiate their sinful practices, 3 then I will respond 4 from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land. 5 7:15 Now I will be attentive and responsive to the prayers offered in this place. 6
[7:14] 1 tn Heb “over whom my name is called.” The Hebrew idiom “call the name over” indicates ownership. See 2 Sam 12:28.
[7:14] 2 tn Heb “seek my face,” where “my face” is figurative for God’s presence and acceptance.
[7:14] 3 tn Heb “and turn from their sinful ways.”
[7:14] 5 sn Here the phrase heal their land means restore the damage done by the drought, locusts and plague mentioned in v. 13.
[7:15] 6 tn Heb “my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer of this place.” Note Solomon’s request in 6:40.
