NET Notes

¹tn Heb “will arise and build.” The idiom “arise and…” means to begin the action described by the second verb.

²tn Heb “portion or right or remembrance.” The expression is probably a hendiatris: The first two nouns retain their full nominal function, while the third noun functions adjectivally (“right or remembrance” = “ancient right”).
