[23:31] 1 tn Heb “her cup.” A cup of intoxicating strong drink is used, here and elsewhere, as a metaphor for judgment because both leave one confused and reeling. (See Jer 25:15, 17, 28; Hab 2:16.) The cup of wrath is a theme also found in the NT (Mark 14:36).
[11:19] 2 tc The MT reads “you”; many Hebrew
[11:19] 3 tn Heb “their flesh.”
[11:19] 4 tn Heb “heart of flesh.”
[36:26] 3 sn That is, a heart which symbolizes a will that is stubborn and unresponsive (see 1 Sam 25:37). In Rabbinic literature a “stone” was associated with an evil inclination (b. Sukkah 52a).
[36:26] 4 sn That is, a heart which symbolizes a will that is responsive and obedient to God.
[37:6] 4 tn The exact physiological meaning of the term is uncertain. In addition to v. 8, the term occurs only in Gen 32:33; Job 10:11; 40:17; and Jer 48:4.
