4:4 “Also for your part lie on your left side and place the iniquity 1 of the house of Israel on it. For the number of days you lie on your side you will bear their iniquity. 4:5 I have determined that the number of the years of their iniquity are to be the number of days 2 for you – 390 days. 3 So bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. 4

3 tc The LXX reads “190 days.”
4 tn Or “When you have carried the iniquity of the house of Israel,” and continuing on to the next verse.
