tn Heb “That was the living creature.”

tn Heb “name.”

sn The description of the nation Israel in vv. 10-14 recalls the splendor of the nation’s golden age under King Solomon.

tn Heb “For testing (will come) and what if also a scepter, it despises, will not be?” The translation understands the subject of the verb “despises,” which is a feminine form in the Hebrew text, to be the sword (which is a feminine noun) mentioned in the previous verses. The text is very difficult and any rendering is uncertain.

sn See Ezek 7:8; 9:8; 14:19; 20:8, 13, 21; 22:22; 30:15.

sn For the concept of defiling the land in legal literature, see Lev 18:28; Deut 21:23.

tn Heb “ways.”

sn Eating the fat and drinking blood were God’s exclusive rights in Israelite sacrifices (Lev 3:17).

tn Or “sacrifice” (so also in the rest of this verse).

10 tn Heb “twenty cubits” (i.e., 10.5 meters).
