2 Tawarikh 7:14

[6:6] 1 tn Heb for my name to be there.” See also the note on the word “live” in v. 5.
[6:8] 2 tn Heb “Because it was with your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was with your heart.”
[6:9] 3 tn Heb “your son, the one who came out of your body, he will build the temple for my name.”
[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.”
[6:5] 7 tn Heb “to build a house for my name to be there.” Here “name” is used by metonymy for the
[33:4] 8 tn Heb “In Jerusalem my name will be permanently.”
[7:14] 9 tn Heb “over whom my name is called.” The Hebrew idiom “call the name over” indicates ownership. See 2 Sam 12:28.
[7:14] 10 tn Heb “seek my face,” where “my face” is figurative for God’s presence and acceptance.
[7:14] 11 tn Heb “and turn from their sinful ways.”
[7:14] 13 sn Here the phrase heal their land means restore the damage done by the drought, locusts and plague mentioned in v. 13.
[7:20] 14 tn Heb “them.” The switch from the second to the third person pronoun is rhetorically effective, for it mirrors God’s rejection of his people – he has stopped addressing them as “you” and begun addressing them as “them.” However, the switch is awkward and confusing in English, so the translation maintains the direct address style.
[7:20] 15 tn Heb “them.” See the note on “you” earlier in this verse.
[7:20] 16 tc Instead of “I will throw away,” the parallel text in 1 Kgs 9:7 has “I will send away.” The two verbs sound very similar in Hebrew, so the discrepancy is likely due to an oral transmissional error.
[7:20] tn Heb “and this temple which I consecrated for my name I will throw away from before my face.”
[7:20] 17 tn Heb “him,” which appears in context to refer to Israel (i.e., “you” in direct address). Many translations understand the direct object of the verb “make” to be the temple (NEB, NASB, NIV, NRSV “it”).
[7:20] 18 tn Heb “and I will make him [i.e., Israel] a proverb and a taunt,” that is, a proverbial example of destruction and an object of reproach.
[33:7] 19 tn Heb “In this house and in Jerusalem, which I chose from all the tribes of Israel, I will place my name permanently” (or perhaps “forever”).
