| NET Notes |
1 tn Heb “Death will be chosen rather than life by the remnant who are left from this wicked family in all the places where I have banished them.” The sentence is broken up and restructured to avoid possible confusion because of the complexity of the English to some modern readers. There appears to be an extra “those who are left” that was inadvertently copied from the preceding line. It is missing from one Hebrew 2 tn Heb “Yahweh of armies.” 2 sn For the significance of this title see the notes at 2:19 and 7:3. |
