Footnotes

  1. 46 Heb “he”; the referent (Jehoiachin) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  2. 47 The words “until the day he died” do not appear in the , but they are included in the parallel passage in Jer 52:34. Probably they have been accidentally omitted by homoioteleuton. A scribe’s eye jumped from the final vav (ו) on בְּיוֹמוֹ (béyomo), “in his day,” to the final vav (ו) on מוֹתוֹ (moto), “his death,” leaving out the intervening words.
