Footnotes

  1. 46 The has a plural “you” here, but the and a Qumran have the singular. The singular may be the correct reading; the verb “you have honored” later in the verse is singular even in the . However, it is more probable that the Lord here refers to Eli and his sons. Note the plural in the second half of the verse (“you have made yourselves fat”).
  2. 47 Heb “which I commanded, dwelling place.” The noun is functioning as an adverbial accusative in relation to the verb. Since God’s dwelling place/sanctuary is in view, the pronoun “my” is supplied in the translation.
