| NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “transgressions to all their sins.” 2 tn Heb “and he shall give them.” 3 tn The meaning of the Hebrew term עִתִּי (’itti) is uncertain. It is apparently related to עֵת (’et, “time”), and could perhaps mean either that he has been properly “appointed” (i.e., designated) for the task (e.g., NIV and NRSV) or “ready” (e.g., NASB and NEB). |
