[15:2]  1 tn Heb “house.”

[15:2]  2 tn Heb “even Dibon [to] the high places to weep.” The verb “went up” does double duty in the parallel structure.

[15:2]  3 tn Heb “over [or “for”] Nebo and over [or “for”] Medeba.”

[15:2]  4 sn Shaving the head and beard were outward signs of mourning and grief.

[48:37]  5 tn Heb “upon every loin [there is] sackcloth.” The word “all” is restored here before “loin” with a number of Hebrew mss and a number of versions. The words “in mourning” and “to show their sorrow” are not in the text. They have been supplied in the translation to give the average reader some idea of the significance of these acts.

[7:18]  6 tn Heb “baldness will be on their heads.”

[27:30]  7 tn Heb “make heard over you with their voice.”

[27:30]  8 tn Note a similar expression to “roll in the ashes” in Mic 1:10.

[27:31]  9 tn Heb “and they will weep concerning you with bitterness of soul, (with) bitter mourning.”
