Footnotes

  1. 76 Heb “which is called by my name.” See translator’s note on for support.
  2. 77 This is an example of a question without the formal introductory particle following a conjunctive vav introducing an opposition. (See 2: §161.a.) It is also an example of the use of the infinitive before the finite verb in a rhetorical question involving doubt or denial. (See 2: §123.f, and compare usage in Gen 37:8.)
  3. 78 Heb “Yahweh of armies.” See the study notes on and for explanation of this extended title.
  4. 79 Heb “Oracle of Yahweh of armies.”
