| NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “by sword, by starvation, or by disease.” 2 tn Heb “those who go out to the Chaldeans.” For the rendering “Babylonians” for “Chaldeans” see the study note on 21:4. 3 tn Heb “his life will be to him for spoil and he will live.” For the meaning of this idiom see the study note on 21:9. The words and “he will live” have been left out of the translation because they are redundant after “will live” and “they will escape with their lives.” sn See Jer 21:9 for this prophecy. |
