The People Respond to the Reading of the Law

When the seventh month arrived and the Israelites ²  were settled in their cities, ³ 

[12:28]  ¹ tn Heb “the sons of the singers.”

[7:73]  ² tn Heb “the sons of Israel.” So also in vv. 14, 17; 9:1.

[7:73]  ³ tn The traditional understanding of the chapter and verse division here is probably incorrect. The final part of v. 73 is best understood as belonging with 8:1.
