Jeremiah 7:2

7:2 “Stand in the gate of the Lord’s temple and proclaim ⁵  this message: ‘Listen, all you people of Judah who have passed through these gates to worship the Lord. ⁶  Hear what the Lord has to say.

[17:20]  ¹ tn The words “As you stand there” are not in the text but are implicit in the connection. They are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[17:20]  ² tn Heb “Listen to the word of the Lord, kings of Judah…Jerusalem who enter through these gates.” This sentence has been restructured to avoid a long complex English sentence and to put “Listen to what the Lord says” closer to the content of what he says.

[22:2]  ³ tn Heb “who sits on David’s throne.”

[22:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Judah who sits on the throne of David, you, and your officials and your people who pass through these gates.”

[7:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “Proclaim there…” The adverb is unnecessary in English style.

[7:2]  ⁶ sn That is, all those who have passed through the gates of the outer court and are standing in the courtyard of the temple.
