NET Notes

¹tn Heb “let the clouds drip with”; KJV “let the skies pour down.”

²tn Heb “open up” (so NASB); NIV, NLT “open wide.”

³tc The plural verb should be emended to a singular form. The vav (ו) ending is probably virtually dittographic (note the yod at the beginning of the following word).

⁴tc The Hiphil verb form (תַצְמִיחַ, tatsmiakh) should probably be emended to a Qal (תִצְמַח, titsmakh). The יח sequence at the end of the form is probably due to dittography (note the following יַחַד, yakhad).

⁵tn The masculine singular pronominal suffix probably refers back to יָשַׁע (yasha’, “salvation”).
