| NET Notes |
1 tn Heb “swears by his life”; or “swears by himself.” 2 tn Heb “his,” referring to Jacob, which stands here for the nation of Israel. 3 tn The words “to their enemies” are supplied in the translation for clarification. 4 tn Heb “the city”; this probably refers to the city of Samaria (cf. 6:1), which in turn, by metonymy, represents the entire northern kingdom. |
