1 tn Heb “vengeance of covenant”; cf. NAB “the avenger of my covenant.”
2 tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) has a concessive force in this context.
3 tn Heb “in hand of enemy,” but Tg. Ps.-J. and Tg. Neof. have “in the hands of your enemies” (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 454).
4 tn Heb “and I will empty sword” (see HALOT 1228 s.v. ריק 3).
