Bilangan 14:21

14:21 But truly, as I live, ¹  all the earth will be filled with the glory of the Lord.

Yeremia 5:2

5:2 These people make promises in the name of the Lord. ² 

But the fact is, ³  what they swear to is really a lie.” ⁴ 

[14:21]  ¹ sn This is the oath formula, but in the Pentateuch it occurs here and in v. 28.

[5:2]  ² tn Heb “Though they say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives.” The idea of “swear on oath” comes from the second line.

[5:2]  ³ tc The translation follows many Hebrew mss and the Syriac version in reading “surely” (אָכֵן, ’akhen) instead of “therefore” (לָכֵן, lakhen) in the MT.

[5:2]  tn Heb “Surely.”

[5:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “they swear falsely.”
