(0.35) | (Eze 37:14) | 1 tn Or “spirit.” This is likely an allusion to Gen 2 and God’s breath that creates life. |
(0.35) | (Eze 36:27) | 2 tn Heb “and I will do that which in my statutes you will walk.” The awkward syntax (verb “to do, act” + accusative sign + relative clause + prepositional phrase + second person verb) is unique, though Eccl 3:14 contains a similar construction. In the last line of that verse we read that “God acts so that (relative pronoun) they fear before him.” However, unlike Ezek 36:27, the statement has no accusative sign before the relative pronoun. |
(0.35) | (Eze 29:13) | 1 sn In Ezek 4:4-8 it was said that the house of Judah would suffer 40 years. |
(0.35) | (Eze 23:29) | 1 tn The Hebrew term means “labor,” but by extension it can also refer to that for which one works. |
(0.35) | (Eze 18:13) | 1 tn Heb “be put to death.” The translation follows an alternative reading that appears in several ancient textual witnesses. |
(0.35) | (Eze 13:23) | 1 tn The Hebrew verb is feminine plural, indicating that it is the false prophetesses who are addressed here. |
(0.35) | (Eze 4:16) | 1 tn Heb, “break the staff of bread.” The bread supply is compared to a staff that one uses for support. |
(0.35) | (Eze 3:27) | 2 tn Heb “the listener will listen, and the refuser will refuse.” Because the word for listening can also mean obeying, the nuance may be that the obedient will listen, or that the one who listens will obey. Also, although the verbs are not jussive as pointed in the MT, some translate them with a volitive sense: “the one who listens—let that one listen, the one who refuses—let that one refuse.” |
(0.35) | (Lam 2:8) | 2 tn Heb “He did not return His hand from swallowing.” That is, he persisted until it was destroyed. |
(0.35) | (Lam 1:9) | 8 tn The words “she cried” do not appear in the Hebrew. They are added to indicate that personified Jerusalem is speaking. |
(0.35) | (Jer 42:9) | 1 sn Their “request” is that Jeremiah would tell them where to go and what to do (v. 3). |
(0.35) | (Jer 39:17) | 1 tn Heb “But I will rescue you on that day” (referring to the same day mentioned in the preceding verse). |
(0.35) | (Jer 31:30) | 1 sn The Lord answers their charge by stating that each person is responsible for his own sin and will himself bear the consequences. Ezek 18 has a more extended treatment of this and shows that it extends not just to the link between parents and children but to that between former and future behavior of the same individual. To a certain extent the principle articulated here is anticipatory of the statement in v. 34 that refers to the forgiveness of former sins. |
(0.35) | (Jer 29:3) | 3 sn It is unclear whether this incident preceded or followed those in the preceding chapter. It is known from 52:5-9 that Zedekiah himself had made a trip to Babylon in the same year mentioned in 28:1 and that Jeremiah had used that occasion to address a prophecy of disaster to Babylon. It is not impossible that Jeremiah sent two such disparate messages at the same time (see Jer 25:8-11, 12-14, 17-18, 26). |
(0.35) | (Jer 25:27) | 6 tn Heb “because of the sword that I will send among you.” See the notes on 2:16 for explanation. |
(0.35) | (Jer 25:20) | 4 sn The Greek historian Herodotus reports that Ashdod had been destroyed under the Pharaoh who preceded Necho, Psammetichus. |
(0.35) | (Jer 25:22) | 3 sn The connection with Tyre and Sidon suggests that these were Phoenician colonies. See also Isa 23:2. |
(0.35) | (Jer 23:9) | 5 sn The way the Lord and his word are being treated is clarified in the verses that follow. |
(0.35) | (Jer 21:4) | 2 tn Heb “the weapons that are in your hand.” Weapons stands here by substitution for the soldiers who wield them. |
(0.35) | (Jer 21:2) | 3 tn Heb “Perhaps the Lord will do according to his miracles that he may go up from against us.” |
