[18:9]  ¹ tc The MT reads לַעֲשׂוֹת אֱמֶת (la’asot ’emet, “to do with integrity”), while the LXX reads “to do them,” presupposing לַעֲשׂוֹת אֹתָם (la’asot ’otam). The ם (mem) and ת (tav) have been reversed in the MT. The LXX refelcts the original, supported by similar phrasing in Ezekiel 11:20; 20:19.

[18:9]  ² tn Heb “he.”

[18:9]  ³ tn Heb “living, he will live.” The infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb for emphasis.

[27:5]  ¹ tn Heb “built.”

[27:5]  ² tn Perhaps the hull or deck. The term is dual, so perhaps it refers to a double-decked ship.

[36:37]  ¹ tn The Niphal verb may have a tolerative function here, “Again (for) this I will allow myself to be sought by the house of Israel to act for them.” Or it may be reflexive: “I will reveal myself to the house of Israel by doing this also.”

[36:37]  ² sn Heb “I will multiply them like sheep, human(s).”
