NET Notes

¹tn Heb “please let our petition fall before you.” For the idiom here see 37:20 and the translator’s note there.

²tn Heb “on behalf of us, [that is] on behalf of all this remnant.”

²sn This refers to the small remnant of people who were left of those from Mizpah who had been taken captive by Ishmael after he had killed Gedaliah and who had been rescued from him at Gibeon. There were other Judeans still left in the land of Judah who had not been killed or deported by the Babylonians.

³tn Heb “For we are left a few from the many as your eyes are seeing us.” The words “used to be” are not in the text but are implicit. These words are supplied in the translation for clarity and smoothness of English style.
