¹ tc The translation reflects the Hebrew text, which repeats the statement, perhaps for emphasis. However, a few medieval Hebrew manuscripts, the Old Greek, and the Syriac do not include the repetition. The statement could have been accidentally repeated or the second occurrence could have been accidentally omitted. Based on the available evidence it is difficult to know which is more likely.

² tn Heb “each one, the detestable things of his eyes, throw away.” The Pentateuch does not refer to the Israelites worshiping idols in Egypt, but Josh 24:14 appears to suggest that they did so.

³ tn Heb “sons,” reflecting the patriarchal idiom of the culture.

⁴ tn Or “standard of justice.” See Ezek 7:27.

⁴ tn The Hebrew word (“Bamah”) means “high place.”

⁵ tn The Hebrew term refers to sacrificial meat not eaten by the appropriate time (Lev 7:18; 19:7).

⁶ sn By the sword and by famine and by pestilence. A similar trilogy of punishments is mentioned in Lev 26:25-26. See also Jer 14:12; 21:9; 27:8, 13; 29:18).

⁷ tc The LXX reads this statement as a question. Compare this to the question in 9:8. It is possible that the interrogative particle has been omitted by haplography. However, an exclamatory statement as in the MT also makes sense and the LXX may have simply tried to harmonize this passage with 9:8.

⁸ tn Heb “each one, the detestable things of their eyes did not throw away.”

⁹ tn Heb “and I said/thought to pour out.”

⁹ tn Heb “and I said/thought to pour out.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “to bring them to an end.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “sons.”

¹¹ tn Or “carries them out.”

¹² tn Heb “and I said/thought to pour out.”
