Footnotes

  1. 15 See the study note on for the reckoning of the seventy years.
  2. 16 See the translator’s note on for this term.
  3. 17 Verse 10 is all one long sentence in the Hebrew original: “According to the fullness of Babylon seventy years I will take thought of you and I will establish my gracious word to you by bringing you back to this place.” The sentence has been broken up to conform better to contemporary English style.
  4. 18 Heb “this place.” The text has probably been influenced by the parallel passage in 27:22. The term appears fifteen times in Jeremiah and is invariably a reference to Jerusalem or Judah. See Jer 27:22 for this promise.
