NET Notes

1 tn Heb “We acknowledge our wickedness [and] the iniquity of our [fore]fathers.” For the use of the word “know” to mean “confess,” “acknowledge” cf. BDB 394 s.v. יָדַע, Qal.1.f and compare the usage in Jer 3:13.

1 sn For a longer example of an individual identifying with the nation and confessing their sins and the sins of their forefathers see Ps 106.

2 tn This is another example of the intensive use of כִּי (ki). See BDB 472 s.v. כִּי 1.e.
