1 tn The same expression appears in Exod 12:38; Jer 25:20; 50:37; Neh 13:3. It may refer to foreign mercenaries serving in the armies of the nations listed here.
2 tn Heb “sons.”
3 tn The expression “sons of the covenant land” possibly refers to Jews living in Egypt (Jer 44).
4 tn Heb “when it sends forth.” Repointing the consonants of the Masoretic text would render the proposed reading “shoots” (cf. NRSV).
5 tn Heb “whose.”
6 tn The only other occurrence of the phrase “remote slopes of the pit” is in Isa 14:15.
7 tn Heb “against.”
8 tn Heb “him”; the referent (Gog, cf. v. 18) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
