¹ tc The Greek text adds the Lord here: “before the Lord, before Aaron.”

² tn Heb “I will add to discipline you seven [times] on your sins.”

² tc Several medieval Hebrew mss, Smr, and the LXX add “and his sons.”

² tn This is a verbal hendiadys construction: “I will not add again [to] see.”

² tc The LXX adds here “to his father,” which may have been accidentally omitted in the MT.
