Footnotes

  1. 35 Heb “they deposited.” For the usage of the verb here see 824 פָּקַד Hiph.2.b and compare the usage in Jer 37:21 where it is used for “confining” Jeremiah in the courtyard of the guardhouse.
  2. 36 Heb “all the matters.” Compare the translator’s note on v. .
  3. 37 Both here and in the next verse the Hebrew has “in the ears of” before “the king” (and also before “all the officials”). As in v. 15 these words are not represented in the translation due to the awkwardness of the idiom in contemporary English (see the translator’s note on v. ).
