NET Notes |
1 tn Heb “in the city,” that is, “in public.” 2 tn Heb “will fall by the sword.” 3 tn Heb “will be divided up with a [surveyor’s] measuring line.” 4 tn Heb “[an] unclean”; or “[an] impure.” This fate would be especially humiliating for a priest, who was to distinguish between the ritually clean and unclean (see Lev 10:10). 5 tn See the note on the word “exile” in 5:5. |
