9	tn Or “the kingdom of Israel”; Heb “the house of Joseph.” sn Joseph is mentioned here instead of the usual Israel (but see 2 Sam 19:20; Ps 78:67; 80:1; 81:5; Ezek 37:16; Amos 5:6, 15; 6:6) because of the exodus motif that follows in vv. 8–11.
10	tc The anomalous MT reading וְחוֹשְׁבוֹתִים (vékhoshévotim) should probably be וַהֲשִׁי בוֹתִם (vahashi votim), the Hiphil perfect consecutive of שׁוּב (shuv), “return” (cf. Jer 12:15).
