¹ tn In context “you” refers to the city of Jerusalem. To make this clear for the modern reader, “Jerusalem” has been supplied in the translation in apposition to “you.”

² tn Heb “all of your survivors.”

³ tn Heb “to every wind.”

⁴ tn Or “spirit.” See note on “wind” in 2:2.

⁵ tn Heb “to Chaldea.”

⁷ tn The parable assumes the defection of Zedekiah to Egypt and his rejection of Babylonian lordship.

⁸ sn The great eagle symbolizes Nebuchadnezzar (17:12).

⁹ tn Hebrew has two words for wings; it is unknown whether they are fully synonymous or whether one term distinguishes a particular part of the wing such as the wing coverts (nearest the shoulder), secondaries (mid-feathers of the wing) or primaries (last and longest section of the wing).

¹⁰ tn This term was used in 16:10, 13, and 18 of embroidered cloth.

¹¹ sn In the parable Lebanon apparently refers to Jerusalem (17:12).

¹⁰ tn Heb “mother.”

¹¹ sn Mesopotamian kings believed that the gods revealed the future through omens. They employed various divination techniques, some of which are included in the list that follows. A particularly popular technique was the examination and interpretation of the livers of animals. See R. R. Wilson, Prophecy and Society in Ancient Israel, 90-110.

¹² tn This word refers to personal idols that were apparently used for divination purposes (Gen 31:19; 1 Sam 19:13, 16).

¹³ tn Heb “sees.”

¹⁴ tn Heb “the liver.”

¹³ tn Or “rust.”

¹⁴ tn Heb “has not gone out.”

¹⁵ tn Here “lot” may refer to the decision made by casting lots; it is not chosen at all.

¹⁶ tc Heb “I.” The reading is due to the confusion of yod (י, indicating a first person pronoun) and vav (ו, indicating a third person pronoun). A few medieval Hebrew mss, Theodotion’s Greek version, and the Latin Vulgate support a third person pronoun here.
