¹ tc The LXX lacks the first two words (Aram “the visions of my head”) of the Aramaic text.

² tn Instead of “in the middle of the land,” some English versions render this phrase “a tree at the center of the earth” (NRSV); NAB, CEV “of the world”; NLT “in the middle of the earth.” The Hebrew phrase can have either meaning.

³ tn Aram “its height was great.”

⁴ tn Aram “house.”

⁵ tn Aram “by the might of my strength.”

⁶ tn Aram “my brightness was changing on me.”

⁷ tn Aram “in my heart.”
