[14:12]  ¹ tc The Greek version has “death.”

[28:21]  ² tn Heb “will cause pestilence to cling to you.”

[28:2]  ³ tn Heb “come upon you and overtake you” (so NASB, NRSV); NIV “come upon you and accompany you.”

[14:12]  ⁴ sn See 6:16-20 for parallels.

[14:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “through sword, starvation, and plague.”

[24:10]  ⁶ sn See Jer 14:12 and the study note there.

[24:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “fathers.”

[29:17]  ⁸ tn Heb “Yahweh of armies.” See the study note on 2:19 for explanation of this title.

[29:17]  ⁹ tn Heb “the sword.”

[29:17]  ¹⁰ tn The meaning of this word is somewhat uncertain. It occurs only here in the Hebrew Bible. BDB 1045 s.v. שֹׁעָר relates it to the noun “horrible thing” (translated “something shocking”) in Jer 5:30; 23:14 and defines it as “horrid, disgusting.” HALOT 1495 s.v. שֹׁעָר relates it to the same noun and define it as “rotten; corrupt.” That nuance is accepted here.

[29:18]  ¹¹ tn Heb “with the sword.”

[4:10]  ¹² tn Heb “in the manner [or “way”] of Egypt.”

[4:10]  ¹³ tn Heb “of your camps [or “armies”].”

[21:11]  ¹⁴ sn See Isa 5:13-14; 13:6-16; Hag 2:6-7; Zech 14:4.

[21:11]  ¹⁵ tn This term, φόβητρον (fobhtron), occurs only here in the NT. It could refer to an object, event, or condition that causes fear, but in the context it is linked with great signs from heaven, so the translation “sights” was preferred.

[21:11]  ¹⁶ sn See Jer 4:13-22; 14:12; 21:6-7.
