78:55 He drove the nations out from before them;
he assigned them their tribal allotments 1
and allowed the tribes of Israel to settle down. 2
7:17 “Therefore this is what the Lord says:
‘Your wife will become a prostitute in the streets 3
and your sons and daughters will die violently. 4
Your land will be given to others 5
and you will die in a foreign 6 land.
Israel will certainly be carried into exile 7 away from its land.’”
1 tn Heb “he caused to fall [to] them with a measuring line an inheritance.”
2 tn Heb “and caused the tribes of Israel to settle down in their tents.”
3 tn Heb “in the city,” that is, “in public.”
4 tn Heb “will fall by the sword.”
5 tn Heb “will be divided up with a [surveyor’s] measuring line.”
6 tn Heb “[an] unclean”; or “[an] impure.” This fate would be especially humiliating for a priest, who was to distinguish between the ritually clean and unclean (see Lev 10:10).
7 tn See the note on the word “exile” in 5:5.
