[11:7]  ¹ tn Heb “placed.”

[11:7]  ² tn Heb “in its midst.”

[11:7]  ³ tn Heb “she/it.” See v. 3.

[11:7]  ⁴ tc Many of the versions read “I will bring you out” (active) rather than “he brought out” (the reading of MT).

[18:2]  ⁵ tn This word only occurs here and in the parallel passage in Jer 31:29-30 in the Qal stem and in Eccl 10:10 in the Piel stem. In the latter passage it refers to the bluntness of an ax that has not been sharpened. Here the idea is of the “bluntness” of the teeth, not from having ground them down due to the bitter taste of sour grapes but to the fact that they have lost their “edge,” “bite,” or “sharpness” because they are numb from the sour taste. For this meaning for the word, see W. L. Holladay, Jeremiah (Hermeneia), 2:197.

[36:31]  ¹² tn Heb “ways.”

[44:8]  ¹³ tc Instead of an energic nun (ן), the text may have read a third masculine plural suffix ם (mem), “them,” which was confused with ן (nun) in the old script. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:621.
