| NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “over whom my name is called.” The Hebrew idiom “call the name over” indicates ownership. See 2 Sam 12:28. 2 tn Heb “seek my face,” where “my face” is figurative for God’s presence and acceptance. 3 tn Heb “and turn from their sinful ways.” 4 tn Heb “hear.” 5 sn Here the phrase heal their land means restore the damage done by the drought, locusts and plague mentioned in v. 13. |
