2 Tawarikh 6:27

6:27 then listen from heaven and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel. Certainly ¹  you will then teach them the right way to live ²  and send rain on your land that you have given your people to possess. ³ 

2 Tawarikh 20:7

20:7 Our God, you drove out ⁴  the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and gave it as a permanent possession ⁵  to the descendants of your friend ⁶  Abraham.

[6:27]  ¹ tn The present translation understands כִּי (ki) in an emphatic or asseverative sense (“Certainly”). Other translation have “indeed” (NASB), “when” (NRSV), “so” (NEB), or leave the word untranslated (NIV).

[6:27]  ² tn Heb “the good way in which they should walk.”

[6:27]  ³ tn Or “for an inheritance.”

[20:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “did you not drive out?” This is another rhetorical question which expects a positive response; see the note on the word “heaven” in the previous verse.

[20:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “permanently.”

[20:7]  ⁶ tn Or perhaps “your covenantal partner.” See Isa 41:8.
