[4:9]  ¹ tn Heb “against them.” The words “to protect” are added in the translation for the sake of clarity and smoothness. Some emend MT עֲלֵיהֶם (’alehem, “against them”) to עָלֶיהָ (’aleha, “against it,” i.e., Jerusalem).

[12:7]  ² tn Heb “heads” (so also in v. 12).

[12:7]  ³ tn Heb “brothers” (also in vv. 8, 9, 24, 36).
