NET © Notes |
1 tn Or “like a plain” (similar KJV, NAB, NASB, NCV, NRSV, NLT); or “like a steppe”; cf. CEV “flatlands.” The Hebrew term עֲרָבָה (’aravah) refers to an arid plain or steppe, but can be used specifically as the name of the rift valley running from the Sea of Galilee via the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. 2 sn The expression from Geba to Rimmon is a way of indicating the extent of all Judah from north (2 Kgs 23:8) to south (Job 15:32; 19:7). Since Geba (Heb. גֶּבַע) means “hill” and Rimmon resembles the word for height (Heb. רָמָה, ramah), this could be a play on words suggesting that all the high country will be made low, like the great Arabah valley. 3 tn Or “old gate” (NLT); or “former gate” (NRSV). 4 sn From the Benjamin Gate…on to the Corner Gate marks the northern wall of the city of Jerusalem from east to west. 5 sn From the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses indicates the extent of Jerusalem from north to south. |
