[4:18]  ¹ tn Heb “to his father, to the harvesters.”

[4:19]  ² tn Heb “He”; the referent (the boy’s father) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:21]  ³ tn Heb “Should I strike them down? I will strike them down.” In the Hebrew text the first person imperfect form is repeated; the first form has the interrogative he prefixed to it; the second does not. It is likely that the second form should be omitted as dittographic or that the first should be emended to an infinitive absolute.

[6:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “my father.” The king addresses the prophet in this way to indicate his respect. See 2 Kgs 2:12.
