¹ tc The Hebrew text lacks the verb “worked.” It is implied, however, and has been supplied in the translation.

² tn Heb “go into the temple and live.”

³ tn Heb “cause to stand on us.”

⁴ tc The MT reads “to give upon us.” However, the term עָלֵינוּ (’alenu, “upon us”) should probably be deleted, following a few medieval Hebrew MSS, the Syriac Peshitta, and the Vulgate.

⁵ tn Heb “house” (also in vv. 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39).

⁶ tn Heb “stood.”

⁷ tc The translation reads the plural rather than the singular of the MT.

⁸ tn Heb “and I stood them on their standing.”
