1:4 When I heard these things I sat down abruptly, 1 crying and mourning for several days. I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven.
9:36 “So today we are slaves! In the very land you gave to our ancestors to eat its fruit and to enjoy 2 its good things – we are slaves!
1 tn Heb “sat down.” Context suggests that this was a rather sudden action, resulting from the emotional shock of the unpleasant news, so “abruptly” has been supplied in the present translation.
2 tn The expression “to enjoy” is not included in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
