2 Raja-raja 19:30

19:30 Those who remain in Judah will take root in the ground and bear fruit. ⁵ 

[10:27]  ¹ tn Or “pulled down.”

[10:27]  ² tn The verb “they demolished” is repeated in the Hebrew text.

[10:27]  ³ tn Heb “and they made it into.”

[10:27]  ⁴ tn The consonantal text (Kethib) has the hapax legomenon מַחֲרָאוֹת (makhara’ot), “places to defecate” or “dung houses” (note the related noun חרא (khr’)/חרי (khri), “dung,” HALOT 348-49 s.v. *חֲרָאִים). The marginal reading (Qere) glosses this, perhaps euphemistically, מוֹצָאוֹת (motsa’ot), “outhouses.”

[19:30]  ⁵ tn Heb “The remnant of the house of Judah that is left will add roots below and produce fruit above.”
