[25:13]  ¹ sn See the note at 1 Kgs 7:23.

[52:17]  ² sn For discussion of the items listed here, see the study notes at Jer 27:19.

[52:20]  ³ tc The translation follows the LXX (Greek version), which reflects the description in 1 Kgs 7:25-26. The Hebrew text reads, “the twelve bronze bulls under the movable stands.” הַיָּם (hayyam, “The Sea”) has been accidentally omitted by homoioarcton; note that the following form, הַמְּכֹנוֹת (hammÿkhonot, “the movable stands”), also begins with the article.
