NET Notes

1 tn Heb “the Lord answered and said.” The redundant expression “answered and said” has been simplified in the translation as “responded.”

2 tn Heb “[the] vision.”

3 tn Or “reads from.”

4 tn Heb “might run,” which here probably means “run [through it quickly with one’s eyes],” that is, read it easily.
