Footnotes

  1. 90 The words “is coming” (בָּאִים, ba’im) are not in the written text (Kethib) but are supplied in the margin (Qere), in several Hebrew and in the versions. It is part of the idiom that also occurs in vv. 27, 31. On this idiom compare vv. 27, 31.
  2. 91 Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
  3. 92 For location see ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; .
  4. 93 Heb “the city will be built to [or for] the Lord.” The words “of Jerusalem” are not in the text but are implicit from the context. They have been supplied in the translation for clarity. However, the word occurs in a first person speech so the translation has accommodated the switch in person as it has in a number of other places (compare also , , ICV).
  5. 94 The word “westward” is not in the text but is supplied in the translation to give some orientation. The Tower of Hananel is referred to in Neh 3:1; 12:39; Zech 14:10. According to the directions given in Neh 3 it was in the northern wall, perhaps in the northeast corner, north of the temple mount. The Corner Gate is mentioned again in 2 Kgs 14:13; 2 Chr 25:23; 26:9; Zech 14:10. It is generally agreed that it was located in the northwest corner of the city.
