Footnotes

  1. 37 Heb “which I am sending away (Piel participle of שָׁלַח [shalakh, “to send”]) from your faces.” The rendering here takes the participle as anticipatory of the coming conquest events.
  2. 38 Heb “And.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative or even inferential force here.
  3. 39 Heb “and I have visited its [punishment for] iniquity on it.” See the note on above.
