[25:9]  ¹ tn Heb “and every large house he burned down with fire.”

[1:19]  ² sn Perhaps this refers to the scattering of the people at Babel (Gen 11:1-9).

[21:10]  ³ tn Heb “oracle of the Lord.”

[21:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “I have set my face against this city for evil [i.e., disaster] and not for good [i.e., well-being].” For the use of the idiom “set one’s face against/toward” see, e.g., usage in 1 Kgs 2:15; 2 Kgs 2:17; Jer 42:15, 17 and note the interesting interplay of usage in Jer 44:11-12.
