[9:30]  ¹ tn Heb “she fixed her eyes with antimony.” Antimony (פּוּךְ, pukh) was used as a cosmetic. The narrator portrays her as a prostitute (see Jer 4:30), a role she has played in the spiritual realm (see the note at v. 22).

[9:32]  ² tn Heb “two, three.” The narrator may be intentionally vague or uncertain here, or the two numbers may represent alternate traditions.

[18:35]  ³ tn Heb “that the Lord might rescue Jerusalem from my hand?” The logic runs as follows: Since no god has ever been able to withstand the Assyrian onslaught, how can the people of Jerusalem possibly think the Lord will rescue them?

[21:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[21:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “like the abominable practices of the nations.”

[21:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “in my eyes.”
