NET © Notes

tn The parable assumes the defection of Zedekiah to Egypt and his rejection of Babylonian lordship.

sn The great eagle symbolizes Nebuchadnezzar (17:12).

tn Hebrew has two words for wings; it is unknown whether they are fully synonymous or whether one term distinguishes a particular part of the wing such as the wing coverts (nearest the shoulder), secondaries (mid-feathers of the wing) or primaries (last and longest section of the wing).

tn This term was used in 16:10, 13, and 18 of embroidered cloth.

sn In the parable Lebanon apparently refers to Jerusalem (17:12).
