2 Chronicles 21:9

2 Chronicles 35:6

35:6 Slaughter the Passover lambs, consecrate yourselves, and make preparations for your countrymen to do what the Lord commanded through Moses.” ⁵ 

[4:19]  ¹ tn Heb “the bread of the face/presence.”

[7:16]  ² tn Heb “for my name to be there perpetually [or perhaps, “forever”].”

[7:16]  ³ tn Heb “and my eyes and my heart will be there all the days.”

[21:9]  ³ tc Heb “and he arose at night and defeated Edom, who had surrounded him, and the chariot officers.” The Hebrew text as it stands gives the impression that Jehoram was surrounded and launched a victorious nighttime counterattack. Yet v. 10 goes on to state that the Edomite revolt was successful. The translation above assumes an emendation of the Hebrew text. Adding a third masculine singular pronominal suffix to the accusative sign before Edom (reading אֹתוֹ [’oto, “him”] instead of just אֶת [’et]) and taking Edom as the subject of verbs allows one to translate the verse in a way that is more consistent with the context, which depicts an Israelite defeat, not victory. See also 2 Kgs 8:21.

[35:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.”
