Footnotes

  1. 18 Heb “seven Sabbaths, they shall be complete.” The disjunctive accent under “Sabbaths” precludes the translation “seven complete Sabbaths” (as , ; cf. , , ). The text is somewhat awkward, which may explain why the tradition is confused here, either adding “you shall count” again at the end of the verse, or leaving out “they shall be,” or keeping “they shall be” and adding “to you.”
  2. 19 Heb “and.” In the translation “then” is supplied to clarify the sequence.
