Imamat 26:11

26:11 “‘I will put my tabernacle ¹  in your midst and I will not abhor you. ² 

Mazmur 78:59

78:59 God heard and was angry;

he completely rejected Israel.

Mazmur 106:40

106:40 So the Lord was angry with his people ³ 

and despised the people who belong to him. ⁴ 

Zakharia 11:8

11:8 Next I eradicated the three shepherds in one month, ⁵  for I ran out of patience with them and, indeed, they detested me as well.

[26:11]  ¹ tn LXX codexes Vaticanus and Alexandrinus have “my covenant” rather than “my tabernacle.” Cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV “my dwelling.”

[26:11]  ² tn Heb “and my soul [נֶפֶשׁ, nefesh] will not abhor you.”

[106:40]  ³ tn Heb “the anger of the Lord burned against his people.”

[106:40]  ⁴ tn Heb “his inheritance.”

[11:8]  ⁵ sn Zechariah is only dramatizing what God had done historically (see the note on the word “cedars” in 11:1). The “one month” probably means just any short period of time in which three kings ruled in succession. Likely candidates are Elah, Zimri, Tibni (1 Kgs 16:8-20); Zechariah, Shallum, Menahem (2 Kgs 15:8-16); or Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, Zedekiah (2 Kgs 24:1–25:7).
