Footnotes

  1. 43 Heb “by building.” The prepositional phrase may be subordinated to what precedes, “if in unfaithfulness … by building.”
  2. 44 Heb “or if to offer up.”
  3. 45 Heb “or if to make.”
  4. 46 Or “peace offerings.”
  5. 47 Heb “the Lord, he will seek.” Perhaps this is a self-imprecation in an oath, “may the Lord himself punish us.”
