[6:33]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text also has “look” here.

[6:33]  ² tn Heb “came down to him.”

[6:33]  ³ tn Heb “Look, this is a disaster from the Lord.”

[18:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “Go.”

[19:14]  ⁶ tc The MT has the plural, “letters,” but the final mem is probably dittographic (note the initial mem on the form that immediately follows). Some Greek and Aramaic witnesses have the singular.

[19:14]  ⁷ tc The MT has the plural suffix, “them,” but this probably reflects a later harmonization to the preceding textual corruption (of “letter” to “letters”). The parallel passage in Isa 37:14 has the singular suffix.

[19:16]  ⁸ tn Heb “Hear the words of Sennacherib which he sent to taunt the living God.”
