Footnotes

  1. 18 The idiom once again is “he uncovers their ear.”
  2. 19 The revelation is in the preceding verse, and so a pronoun must be added to make the reference clear.
  3. 20 The verb שׁוּב (shuv, “to turn; to return”) is one of the two major words in the OT for “repent”—to return from evil. Here the imperfect should be obligatory—they must do it.
