[36:6]  ¹ tn Heb “came up against him.”

[36:6]  ² tn Heb “to carry him away.”

[36:7]  ³ tn Or “temple.”

[36:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “in Babylon.” Repeating the proper name “Babylon” here would be redundant in contemporary English, so “there” has been used in the translation.

[36:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “sent and brought him.”

[36:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “and he made Zedekiah his brother king.” According to the parallel text in 2 Kgs 24:17, Zedekiah was Jehoiachin’s uncle, not his brother. Therefore many interpreters understand אח here in its less specific sense of “relative” (NEB “made his father’s brother Zedekiah king”; NASB “made his kinsman Zedekiah king”; NIV “made Jehoiachin’s uncle, Zedekiah, king”; NRSV “made his brother Zedekiah king”).

[33:11]  ⁷ tn Heb “and they seized him with hooks.”

[32:31]  ⁹ tn Heb “and when the envoys of the officials of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire concerning the sign which was in the land, [arrived].”

[32:31]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “to know all [that was] in his heart.”

[36:17]  ¹¹ tn Heb “killed with the sword.”

[36:17]  ¹² tn Heb “in the house of their sanctuary.”

[36:17]  ¹³ tn Or “show compassion to.”

[36:17]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
