NET Notes

¹tn The words “The Lord who is” are not in the text. They are supplied in the translation for clarity. For the significance of the words that follow them see the study note that follows.

¹sn The phrase the portion of Jacob’s descendants, which is applied to God here, has its background in the division of the land where each tribe received a portion of the land of Palestine except the tribe of Levi whose “portion” was the Lord. As the other tribes lived off what their portion of the land provided, the tribe of Levi lived off what the Lord provided, i.e., the tithes and offerings dedicated to him. Hence to have the Lord as one’s portion is to have him provide for all one’s needs (see Ps 16:5 in the context of vv. 2, 6 and Lam 3:24 in the context of vv. 22-23).

²tn Heb “The Portion of Jacob.” “Descendants” is implied, and is supplied in the translation for clarity.

³tn Heb “And Israel is the tribe of his possession.”

⁴tn Heb “Yahweh of armies is his name.”

⁴sn For this rendering of the name for God and its significance see 2:19 and the study note there.
