Footnotes

  1. 8 Heb “I have assigned for you that the years of their iniquity be the number of days.” Num 14:33–34 is an example of the reverse, where the days were converted into years, the number of days spying out the land becoming the number of years of the wilderness wanderings.
  2. 9 The reads “190 days.” The significance of the number 390 is not clear. The best explanation is that “days” are used figuratively for years and the number refers to the years of the sinfulness of Israel during the period of the First Temple. Some understand the number to refer to the length of the division of the northern and southern kingdoms down to the fall of Jerusalem (931–586 b.c.), but this adds up to only 345 years.
  3. 10 Or “When you have carried the iniquity of the house of Israel,” and continuing on to the next verse.
