43	tn Heb “by building.” The prepositional phrase may be subordinated to what precedes, “if in unfaithfulness … by building.”
44	tn Heb “or if to offer up.”
45	tn Heb “or if to make.”
46	tn Or “peace offerings.”
47	tn Heb “the Lord, he will seek.” Perhaps this is a self-imprecation in an oath, “may the Lord himself punish us.”
