2 tn Heb “their fold.”
3 sn See the study note on Jer 25:11 for the reckoning of the seventy years.

5 tn Verse 10 is all one long sentence in the Hebrew original: “According to the fullness of Babylon seventy years I will take thought of you and I will establish my gracious word to you by bringing you back to this place.” The sentence has been broken up to conform better to contemporary English style.
