NET Notes

1 tc The translation reads with the Qere, many medieval Hebrew MSS, the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate עֵילָם (’elam, “Elam”) rather than the reading עוֹלָם (’olam, “eternity”) found in the MT.

2 tn Heb “in that we have given a dwelling to.” So also in vv. 14, 17, 18.

3 tn Heb “the peoples of the lands.”

4 tn Heb “upon this.”
