Footnotes

  1. 31 Heb “the ones who consecrate themselves and the ones who purify themselves toward the orchards [or “gardens”] after the one in the midst.” The precise meaning of the statement is unclear, though it is obvious that some form of idolatry is in view.
  2. 32 Heb “ones who eat the flesh of the pig and the disgusting thing and the mouse.”
  3. 33 Heb “together they will come to an end.”
