Footnotes
- 59 Heb “Therefore thus says the Lord.” This phrase is anticipatory of the same phrase at the beginning of v. 22 and is introductory to what the Lord says about them. The translation seeks to show the connection of the “therefore” which is sometimes rather loose (cf. 487 כֵּן 3.d[b]) with the actual response which is not given until v. 22.
- 60 Heb “the men of Anathoth.” However, this does not involve all of the people, only the conspirators. The literal might lead to confusion later since v. 21 mentions that there will not be any of them left alive. However, it is known from Ezra 2:23 that there were survivors.
- 61 The reads the 2nd person masculine singular suffix “your life,” but reflects an alternative reading of the 1st person common singular suffix “my life.”
- 62 Heb “who were seeking my life, saying …” The sentence is broken up in conformity with contemporary English style.
- 63 Heb “or you will die by our hand.”
