Footnotes

  1. 17 Note that here the angel of the Lord is clearly distinct from the Lord who rules over all himself.
  2. 18 For location see ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; .
  3. 19 The seventy years refers to the predicted period of Babylonian exile, a period with flexible beginning and ending points depending on the particular circumstances in view (cf. Jer 25:1; 28:1; 29:10; Dan 9:2). Here the end of the seventy years appears to be marked by the completion of the temple in 516 b.c., exactly seventy years after its destruction in 586.
