[17:7] 1 tn Heb “in that day” (so ASV, NASB, NIV); KJV “At that day.”
[17:7] 2 tn Heb “man will gaze toward his maker.”
[17:7] 3 tn Heb “his eyes will look toward.”
[17:7] 4 sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.
[17:9] 5 tn Heb “in that day” (so KJV).
[17:9] 6 tn The Hebrew text reads literally, “like the abandonment of the wooded height and the top one.” The following relative clause appears to allude back to the Israelite conquest of the land, so it seems preferable to emend הַחֹרֶשׁ וְהָאָמִיר (hakhoresh vÿha’amir, “the wooded height and the top one”) to חֹרֵשֵׁי הָאֱמֹרִי (khoreshe ha’emori, “[like the abandonment] of the wooded heights of the Amorites”).
