[5:10]  ¹ tn In context “you” refers to the city of Jerusalem. To make this clear for the modern reader, “Jerusalem” has been supplied in the translation in apposition to “you.”

[5:10]  sn This cannibalism would occur as a result of starvation due to the city being besieged. It is one of the judgments threatened for a covenant law violation (Lev 26:29; see also Deut 28:53; Jer 19:9; Lam 2:20; Zech 11:9).

[5:10]  ² tn Heb “all of your survivors.”

[5:10]  ³ tn Heb “to every wind.”

[13:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “from your hand(s).” This refers to their power over the people.

[18:2]  ⁵ tn This word only occurs here and in the parallel passage in Jer 31:29-30 in the Qal stem and in Eccl 10:10 in the Piel stem. In the latter passage it refers to the bluntness of an ax that has not been sharpened. Here the idea is of the “bluntness” of the teeth, not from having ground them down due to the bitter taste of sour grapes but to the fact that they have lost their “edge,” “bite,” or “sharpness” because they are numb from the sour taste. For this meaning for the word, see W. L. Holladay, Jeremiah (Hermeneia), 2:197.

[18:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “be put to death.” The translation follows an alternative reading that appears in several ancient textual witnesses.

[18:13]  ⁷ tn Heb “his blood will be upon him.”

[18:26]  ⁸ tn Heb “for them” or “because of them.”

[20:1]  ⁹ sn The date would be August 14th, 591 b.c. The seventh year is the seventh year of Jehoiachin’s exile.

[20:1]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “men from the elders.”

[20:1]  ¹¹ tn See the note at 14:3.

[31:5]  ¹² tn Heb “when it sends forth.” Repointing the consonants of the Masoretic text would render the proposed reading “shoots” (cf. NRSV).

[33:9]  ¹³ tn Heb “from his way to turn from it.”

[33:9]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and he does not turn from his way.”

[33:29]  ¹⁵ sn The judgments of vv. 27-29 echo the judgments of Lev 26:22, 25.

[34:30]  ¹⁶ sn A promise given to Abraham (Gen 15:7) and his descendants (Gen 15:8; Exod 6:7).

[34:30]  ¹⁷ sn The blessings described in vv. 25-30 are those promised for obedience in Lev 26:4-13.
