Footnotes

  1. 10 Heb “they”; the phrase “And as for them” has been used in the translation for clarity.
  2. 11 The Hebrew word implies obedience rather than mere hearing or paying attention.
  3. 12 This Hebrew adjective is also used to describe the Israelites in Num 17:25 and Isa 30:9.
  4. 13 The book of Ezekiel frequently refers to the Israelites as a rebellious house (Ezek 2:5, 6, 8; 3:9, 26–27; 12:2–3, 9, 25; 17:12; 24:3).
