The People Respond to the Reading of the Law

When the seventh month arrived and the Israelites ⁴  were settled in their cities, ⁵ 

[4:14]  ¹ tn Heb “And I saw.”

[4:14]  ² tn The Hebrew term translated “Lord” here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

[4:14]  ³ tn Heb “houses.”

[7:73]  ⁴ tn Heb “the sons of Israel.” So also in vv. 14, 17; 9:1.

[7:73]  ⁵ tn The traditional understanding of the chapter and verse division here is probably incorrect. The final part of v. 73 is best understood as belonging with 8:1.
