Footnotes

  1. 21 The has the plural, “letters,” but the final mem is probably dittographic (note the initial mem on the form that immediately follows). Some Greek and Aramaic witnesses have the singular.
  2. 22 The has the plural suffix, “them,” but this probably reflects a later harmonization to the preceding textual corruption (of “letter” to “letters”). The parallel passage in Isa 37:14 has the singular suffix.
  3. 23 This refers to the cherub images that were above the ark of the covenant.
  4. 24 Or “the heavens.”
