[6:31]  ¹ tn Heb “fear.”

[6:31]  ² tn Heb “by walking in your ways.”

[6:31]  ³ tn Heb “all the days [in] which.”

[7:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “for my name to be there perpetually [or perhaps, “forever”].”

[7:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “and my eyes and my heart will be there all the days.”

[10:7]  ⁶ tn Heb “If today you are for good to these people and you are favorable to them and speak to them good words, they will be your servants all the days.”

[26:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “sought.”

[26:5]  ⁸ tn Heb “in the days of.”

[26:5]  ⁹ tn Heb “in the days of his seeking.”

[26:5]  ¹⁰ tn Or “prosper.”

[32:23]  ¹¹ tn Or perhaps, “offerings.”

[32:23]  ¹² tn Heb “lifted up in the eyes of.”

[36:21]  ¹³ tn Heb “to fulfill the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah.”

[36:21]  ¹⁴ tn Or “accepted.”

[36:21]  ¹⁵ sn According to Lev 25:4, the land was to remain uncultivated every seventh year. Lev 26:33-35 warns that the land would experience a succession of such sabbatical rests if the people disobeyed God, for he would send them away into exile.

[36:21]  ¹⁶ sn Concerning the seventy years see Jer 25:11.

[36:21]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “all the days of the desolation it rested to fulfill the seventy years.”

[36:21]  sn Cyrus’ edict (see vv. 22-23) occurred about fifty years after the fall of Jerusalem in 586 b.c., which is most naturally understood as the beginning point of the “days of desolation” mentioned in v. 21. The number “seventy” is probably used in a metaphorical sense, indicating a typical lifetime and suggesting a thorough or complete judgment that would not be lifted until an entirely new generation emerged.
