Footnotes

  1. 39 The words “The Lord says” are not in the text, but it is clear from the content that he is the speaker. These words are supplied in the translation for clarity.
  2. 40 For location see ; ; ; ; .
  3. 41 According to 1074 תִּפְלָּה this word means “unseemly, unsavory.” The related adjective is used in Job 6:6 of the tastelessness of something that is unseasoned.
  4. 42 Heb “by Baal.” Prophesying in the name of the god Baal was a clear violation of Mosaic law and punishable by death (see Deut 13:1–5). For an example of the apostasy encouraged by prophets of Baal in the northern kingdom of Israel see 1 Kgs 18:16–40.
