[1:3]  ¹ tn Or “high place.”

[1:3]  ² tn Heb “the tent of meeting of God.”

[2:17]  ³ tn Heb “counted.”

[7:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “and this house which was high/elevated.” The statement makes little sense in this context, which predicts the desolation that judgment will bring. Some treat the clause as concessive, “Even though this temple is lofty [now].” Others, following the lead of several ancient versions, emend the text to, “this temple will become a heap of ruins.”

[14:1]  ⁵ sn Beginning with 14:1, the verse numbers through 14:15 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 14:1 ET = 13:23 HT, 14:2 ET = 14:1 HT, 14:3 ET = 14:2 HT, etc., through 14:15 ET = 14:14 HT. Beginning with 15:1 the verse numbers in the ET and HT are again the same.

[14:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “lay down with his fathers.”

[14:1]  ⁷ sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.

[14:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “in his days.”

[19:3]  ⁹ tn Heb “nevertheless good things are found with you.”

[19:3]  ¹⁰ tn Here בָּעַר (ba’ar) is not the well attested verb “burn,” but the less common homonym meaning “devastate, sweep away, remove.” See HALOT 146 s.v. II בער.

[19:4]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “fathers.”

[20:16]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “look.”

[24:9]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and they gave voice in Judah and Jerusalem to bring to the Lord the tax of Moses the servant of God upon Israel in the wilderness.”

[24:23]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “turning.”

[24:23]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “went up against.”

[26:23]  ²³ tn Heb “for they said, ‘He had a skin disease.’”

[32:13]  ²⁴ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 14, 15), but in this context the term does not necessarily refer to Sennacherib’s ancestors, but to his predecessors on the Assyrian throne.

[32:13]  ²⁵ tn Heb “hand.”

[32:31]  ²⁶ tn Heb “and when the envoys of the officials of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire concerning the sign which was in the land, [arrived].”

[36:3]  ²⁸ tn Or “a fine.”

[36:3]  ²⁹ tn The Hebrew word כִּכַּר (kikar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or, by extension, to a standard unit of weight. According to the older (Babylonian) standard the “talent” weighed 130 lbs. (58.9 kg), but later this was lowered to 108.3 lbs. (49.1 kg). More recent research suggests the “light” standard talent was 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg). Using this as the standard for calculation, the weight of the silver was 6,730 lbs. (3,060 kg).
