1 tc The translation reads with one medieval Hebrew
2 tc The MT lacks “of Zattu.” The translation adopted above follows the LXX in including the words.
3 tc The MT lacks “Bani.” It is restored on the basis of certain LXX
4 tc The translation reads with the Qere, the Lucianic Greek recension, the Syriac Peshitta, and the Vulgate וְזַּכּוּר (vÿzakkur, “and Zaccur”) rather than the Kethib of the MT, וְזַבוּד (vÿzavud, “and Zabbud”).
