[6:18]  ¹ tn Heb “Indeed, can God really live with mankind on the earth?” The rhetorical question expects the answer, “Of course not,” the force of which is reflected in the translation “God does not really live with mankind on the earth.”

[13:5]  ² tn Heb “Do you not know that the Lord God of Israel has given kingship to David over Israel permanently, to him and to his sons [by] a covenant of salt?”

[13:5]  sn For other references to a “covenant of salt,” see Lev 2:13 and Num 18:19.

[27:2]  ³ tn Heb “he did what was proper in the eyes of the Lord, according to all which Uzziah his father had done.”

[27:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “except he did not enter the house of the Lord.”

[28:27]  ⁵ tn Heb “lay down with his fathers.”

[28:27]  ⁶ sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.

[30:7]  ⁷ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 19, 22).

[30:7]  ⁸ tn Heb “and he made them a devastation” (or, perhaps, “an object of horror”).
