1 tn Heb “eat what you find.”
2 sn See note on “wind” in 2:2.
3 tc This translation accepts the emendation suggested in BHS of בְּרוּם (bÿrum) for בָּרוּךְ (barukh). The letters mem (מ) and kaph (כ) were easily confused in the old script while בָּרוּךְ (“blessed be”) both implies a quotation which is out of place here and also does not fit the later phrase, “from its place,” which requires a verb of motion.
4 tn See the note on “wind” in 2:2.
5 tn Heb “he.”
6 tn Given the context this could be understood as a shock, e.g., idiomatically “Good grief! I saw….”
7 sn The worship of Tammuz included the observation of the annual death and descent into the netherworld of the god Dumuzi. The practice was observed by women in the ancient Near East over a period of centuries.
8 tc Heb “they approached.” Reading the imperative assumes the same consonantal text but different vowels.

18 tn Heb “I lifted up my hand.”
