1 tn Heb “place it on his head.”

2 tc The MT reads לַעֲשׂוֹת אֱמֶת (la’asot ’emet, “to do with integrity”), while the LXX reads “to do them,” presupposing לַעֲשׂוֹת אֹתָם (la’asot ’otam). The ם (mem) and ת (tav) have been reversed in the MT. The LXX refelcts the original, supported by similar phrasing in Ezekiel 11:20; 20:19.

3 tn Heb “he.”

4 tn Heb “living, he will live.” The infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb for emphasis.

5 tn Heb “remembered.”
