[3:11]  ¹ tn Heb “to the sons of your people.”

[7:7]  ² sn The day refers to the day of the Lord, a concept which, beginning in Amos 5:18-20, became a common theme in the OT prophetic books. It refers to a time when the Lord intervenes in human affairs as warrior and judge.

[7:7]  ³ tc The LXX reads “neither tumult nor birth pains.” The LXX varies at many points from the MT in this chapter. The context suggests that one or both of these would be present on a day of judgment, thus favoring the MT. Perhaps more significant is the absence of “the mountains” in the LXX. If the ר (resh) in הָרִים (harim, “the mountains” not “on the mountains”) were a ד (dalet), which is a common letter confusion, then it could be from the same root as the previous word, הֵד (hed), meaning “the day is near – with destruction, not joyful shouting.”

[10:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “each one”; the referent (the cherubim) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:14]  ⁵ sn The living creature described here is thus slightly different from the one described in Ezek 1:10, where a bull’s face appeared instead of a cherub’s. Note that some English versions harmonize the two descriptions and read the same here as in 1:10 (cf. NAB, NLT “an ox”; TEV, CEV “a bull”). This may be justified based on v. 22, which states the creatures’ appearance was the same.

[16:57]  ⁶ tc So MT, LXX, and Vulgate; many Hebrew mss and Syriac read “Edom.”

[17:6]  ⁷ tn Heb “short of stature.”

[17:6]  ⁸ tn That is, the eagle.

[17:6]  ⁹ tn Or “him,” i.e., the eagle.

[21:23]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the people in Jerusalem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:23]  ¹¹ sn When the people of Judah realized the Babylonians’ intentions, they would object on grounds that they had made a treaty with the Babylonian king (see 17:13).

[21:23]  ¹² tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king of Babylon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:23]  ¹³ tn Or “iniquity.”

[21:23]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and he will remind of guilt for the purpose of being captured.” The king would counter their objections by pointing out that they had violated their treaty with him (see 17:18).

[23:14]  ¹⁵ tn The only other occurrence of the Hebrew term is in Jer 22:14.

[23:45]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and upright men will judge them (with) the judgment of adulteresses and the judgment of those who shed blood.”

[29:16]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “reminding of iniquity when they turned after them.”

[31:17]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “its arm.”

[46:16]  ¹⁹ tn The Hebrew text has no preposition; the LXX reads “from” (see v. 17).
