| NET © Notes |
1 tn Grk “Woe to you…because you…” The causal particle ὅτι (Joti) has not been translated here for rhetorical effect (and so to the end of this chapter). 2 tn Or “you tithe mint.” 3 sn These small herbs were tithed with great care (Mishnah, m. Demai 2:1). 4 tn Grk “and rue.” Καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more. sn Rue was an evergreen herb used for seasoning. 5 sn Justice was a major theme of OT ethics (Mic 6:8; Zech 7:8-10). 6 tn Grk “those”; but this has been translated as “the others” to clarify which are meant. |
