NET Notes

¹tn Or “for.”

²tn Or “I know” (so most English versions).

³tn Or “transgressions,” “sins.” See the note on the word “crimes” in 1:3 and on the phrase “covenant violations” in 2:4.

⁴tn Heb “Those who.”

⁵tn Heb “turn aside.” They “turn aside” the needy by denying them the justice they deserve at the city gate (where legal decisions were made, and therefore where justice should be done).

⁶sn Legal disputes were resolved in the city gate, where the town elders met.
