tn Heb “and [on] every good portion they were throwing each man his stone and they filled it.” The vav + perfect (“and they filled”) here indicates customary action contemporary with the situation described in the preceding main clause (where a customary imperfect is used, “they were throwing”). See the note at 3:4.

tn Heb “until he had allowed its stones to remain in Kir Hareseth.”

tn Heb “and he saw, and look.”

tn Heb “and the house of Baal was filled mouth to mouth.”

tn Heb “and also Manasseh shed very much innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem from mouth to mouth.”

tn Heb “apart from his sin which he caused Judah to commit, by doing what is evil in the eyes of the Lord.”
