NET © Notes

tn Heb “they”; the referent (people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

tn That is, from the Mediterranean Sea in the west to the Dead Sea in the east – that is, across the whole land.

tn Heb “looking for the word of.”

tn It is not clear whether the speaker in this verse is the Lord or the prophet.
