[1:12]  ¹ tn See the note on “straight ahead” in v. 9.

[1:12]  ² tn Or “wind.”

[7:14]  ³ tn The Hebrew word refers to the din or noise made by a crowd, and by extension may refer to the crowd itself.

[9:10]  ⁴ tn The meaning of the Hebrew term is primarily emotional: “to pity,” which in context implies an action, as in being moved by pity in order to spare them from the horror of their punishment.

[9:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “their way on their head I have placed.” The same expression occurs in 1 Kgs 8:32; Ezek 11:21; 16:43; 22:31.

[10:12]  ⁶ tc The phrase “along with their entire bodies” is absent from the LXX and may be a gloss explaining the following words.

[16:29]  ⁷ tn Heb “Chaldea.” The name of the tribal group ruling Babylon (“Chaldeans”) and the territory from which they originated (“Chaldea”) is used as metonymy for the whole empire of Babylon.

[17:5]  ⁸ tn Heb “took of the seed of the land.” For the vine imagery, “seedling” is a better translation, though in its subsequent interpretation the “seed” refers to Zedekiah through its common application to offspring.

[17:5]  ⁹ tn Heb “a field for seed.”

[18:32]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “the death of the one dying.”

[22:7]  ¹¹ tn Heb “treated lightly, cursed.”

[22:7]  ¹² tn Widows and orphans are often coupled together in the OT (Deut 14:29; 16:11, 14; 24:19-21; 26:12-13; Jer 7:6; 22:3). They represented all who were poor and vulnerable to economic exploitation.

[22:29]  ¹³ tn Heb “and the foreigner they have oppressed without justice.”
