33:16 He erected the altar of the Lord and offered on it peace offerings and thank offerings. He told the people of 10  Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel.

1 tn The Hebrew pronoun is plural, suggesting that Solomon and all Israel (or perhaps Solomon and his successors) are in view. To convey this to the English reader, the translation “you people” has been employed.

2 tn Heb “which I placed before you.”

3 tn Heb “and walk and serve other gods and bow down to them.”

4 tn Heb “and priests serving the Lord [are] the sons of Aaron and the Levites in the work.”

5 tn Heb “don’t stiffen your neck” (a Hebrew idiom for being stubborn).

6 tn Heb “give a hand.” On the meaning of the idiom here, see HALOT 387 s.v. I יָד 2.

7 tn Heb “so that the rage of his anger might turn from you.” The jussive with vav conjunctive indicates purpose/result after the preceding imperative.

8 tn Heb “and Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites according to their divisions, each in accordance with his service for the priests and for the Levites.”

9 tn Heb “in the gates of the encampments of the Lord.”

10 tn Heb “told Judah.” The words “the people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” here by metonymy for the people of Judah.
