NET Notes |
1 tn Heb “I myself multiplied vision[s]”; cf. NASB “I gave numerous visions.” 2 tn There is debate whether אֲדַמֶּה (’adammeh, Piel imperfect 1st person common singular) is derived from I דָמָה (damah, “similitude, parable”) or II דָמָה (“oracle of doom”). The lexicons favor the former (BDB 198 s.v. I דָּמָה 1; HALOT 225-26 s.v. I דמה). Most translators favor “parables” (cf. KJV, RSV, NASB, NIV, NJPS), but a few opt for “oracles of doom” (cf. NRSV, TEV, CEV). 3 tn Heb “by the hand of”; KJV, ASV “by the ministry of.” |
