[25:28]  1 tn Heb “made his throne above the throne of.”

[25:29]  2 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jehoiachin) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[25:30]  3 tc The words “until the day he died” do not appear in the MT, but they are included in the parallel passage in Jer 52:34. Probably they have been accidentally omitted by homoioteleuton. A scribe’s eye jumped from the final vav (ו) on בְּיוֹמוֹ (bÿyomo), “in his day,” to the final vav (ו) on מוֹתוֹ (moto), “his death,” leaving out the intervening words.
