[21:35] 1 sn The image of the tenants mistreating the owner’s slaves pictures the nation’s rejection of the prophets and their message.
[26:52] 2 tn The translation “put your sword back in its place” for this phrase is given in L&N 85.52.
[27:6] 3 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
[28:15] 4 tc ‡ The word ἡμέρας (Jhmeras, “day”) is found after σήμερον (shmeron, “today, this [day]”) in some early and important witnesses (B D L Θ lat), but may be a clarifying (or perhaps redundant) note. The shorter reading (found in א A W 0148vid Ë1,13 33 Ï) is thus preferred. NA27 includes the word in brackets, indicating reservations about its authenticity.
