[5:7]  ¹ tn The word “assigned” is supplied in the translation for clarification.

[6:19]  ² tn Heb “turn to.”

[6:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “the loud cry and the prayer.”

[6:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “praying before you.”

[7:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “I have heard.”

[7:12]  ⁸ tn Heb “temple of sacrifice.” This means the Lord designated the temple as the place for making sacrifices, and this has been clarified in the translation.

[7:21]  ⁹ tn Heb “and this house which was high/elevated.” The statement makes little sense in this context, which predicts the desolation that judgment will bring. Some treat the clause as concessive, “Even though this temple is lofty [now].” Others, following the lead of several ancient versions, emend the text to, “this temple will become a heap of ruins.”

[18:18]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Micaiah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
