Footnotes

  1. 21 Or “I have done wrong.”
  2. 22 Heb “Return from upon me; what you place upon me, I will carry.”
  3. 23 The Hebrew term כִּכָּר (kikkar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or to a standard unit of weight, generally regarded as a talent. Since the accepted weight for a talent of metal is about 75 pounds, this would have amounted to about 22,500 pounds of silver and 2,250 pounds of gold.
