5:11 The priests left the holy place. 1 All the priests who participated had consecrated themselves, no matter which division they represented. 2
1 tn Heb “and when the priests went from the holy place.” The syntactical relationship of this temporal clause to the following context is unclear. Perhaps the thought is completed in v. 14 after a lengthy digression.
2 tn Heb “Indeed [or “for”] all the priests who were found consecrated themselves without guarding divisions.”
3 tn Heb “times.”
4 tn Heb “there was peace for the one going out or the one coming in.”
5 tn Heb “for great confusion was upon all the inhabitants of the lands.”
