1 Tawarikh 21:12

1 Tawarikh 22:19

22:19 Now seek the Lord your God wholeheartedly and with your entire being! ⁴  Get up and build the sanctuary of the Lord God! Then you can bring ⁵  the ark of the Lord’s covenant and the holy items dedicated to God’s service ⁶  into the temple that is built to honor the Lord.” ⁷ 

[21:12]  ¹ tc The parallel text in the MT of 2 Sam 24:13 has “seven,” but LXX has “three” there.

[21:12]  ² tc Heb “or three months being swept away from before your enemies and the sword of your enemies overtaking.” The Hebrew term נִסְפֶּה (nisppeh, Niphal participle from סָפָה, safah) should probably be emended to נֻסְכָה (nusÿkhah, Qal infinitive from נוּס [nus] with second masculine singular suffix). See 2 Sam 24:13.

[21:12]  ³ tn Heb “or three days of the sword of the Lord and plague in the land, and the messenger [or “angel”] of the Lord destroying in all the territory of Israel.”

[22:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “to bring.”

[22:19]  ⁶ tn Heb “items of holiness of God.”
