1 tn Heb “which is called by my name.” See translator’s note on 7:10 for support. 2 tn This is an example of a question without the formal introductory particle following a conjunctive vav introducing an opposition. (See Joüon 2:609 §161.a.) It is also an example of the use of the infinitive before the finite verb in a rhetorical question involving doubt or denial. (See Joüon 2:422-23 §123.f, and compare usage in Gen 37:8.) 3 tn Heb “Yahweh of armies.” sn See the study notes on 2:19 and 7:3 for explanation of this extended title. 4 tn Heb “Oracle of Yahweh of armies.” |
