22:1 The Lord told me, 1 “Go down 2 to the palace of the king of Judah. Give him a message from me there. 3
1:13 The Lord again asked me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a pot of boiling water; it is tipped toward us from the north.” 4
1 tn The word “me “ is not in the text. It is, however, implicit and is supplied in the translation for clarity.
2 sn The allusion here is to going down from the temple to the palace which was on a lower eminence. See 36:12 in its context.
3 tn Heb “And speak there this word:” The translation is intended to eliminate an awkward and lengthy sentence.
4 tn Heb “a blown upon [= heated; boiling] pot and its face from the face of the north [= it is facing away from the north].”
