[1:14]  ¹ tn There is nothing in the Hebrew text for these words but it is implicit in the connection. Once again the significance of the vision is spelled out. Compare the translator’s note on v. 12.

[22:12]  ² sn This prophecy was fulfilled according to 2 Kgs 23:34.

[22:27]  ³ tn Heb “And unto the land to which they lift up their souls to return there, there they will not return.” Once again there is a sudden shift in person from the second plural to the third plural. As before the translation levels the pronouns to avoid confusion. For the idiom “to lift up the soul to” = “to long/yearn to/for” see BDB 670 s.v. נָשָׂא 1.b(9).

[37:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “the Chaldeans.” See the study note on 21:4 for the rendering “Babylonian.” The word “forces” is supplied in the translation here for the sake of clarity.

[50:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “the land of the Chaldeans.” See the study note on 21:4 for explanation.

[50:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “The word which the Lord spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet.”

[50:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “The land of the Chaldeans.” See the study note on 21:4 for explanation.

[50:10]  ⁸ tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
