Footnotes

  1. 3 Or “dwelling place”; traditionally, “tabernacle”; literally “tent.”
  2. 4 Or “people”; Grk “men” (ἀνθρώπων, anthrōpōn), a generic use of the term. In the translation “human beings” was used here because “people” occurs later in the verse and translates a different Greek word (λαοί, laoi).
  3. 5 Grk “men, and he.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
  4. 6 Most (א 𝔐K) do not add the words “[as] their God” (αὐτῶν θεός, autōn theos) after “he will be with them.” The with these words include A 2030 2050 2329 The Andreas group (𝔐A) also has the words, but in a different arrangement with the preceding (ἔσται μετʼ αὐτῶν θεὸς αὐτῶν, estai met’ autōn theos autōn). Not only do the words float, but scribes may have been motivated to make a connection here more directly with Isa 7:14; 8:8; Jer 24:7; 31:33; Zech 8:8. In light of sufficient external evidence as well as the possibility that the longer reading is theologically motivated, the shorter reading is preferred. places the words in brackets, indicating doubts as to their authenticity.
