Footnotes

  1. 23 Heb “I myself multiplied vision[s]”; cf. “I gave numerous visions.”
  2. 24 There is debate whether אֲדַמֶּה (’adammeh, Piel imperfect 1st person common singular) is derived from I דָמָה (damah, “similitude, parable”) or II דָמָה (“oracle of doom”). The lexicons favor the former ( 198 I דָּמָה 1; I דמה). Most translators favor “parables” (cf. , , , , ), but a few opt for “oracles of doom” (cf. , , ).
  3. 25 Heb “by the hand of”; , “by the ministry of.”
