Footnotes

  1. Jeremiah 22:25 tn Heb “the Chaldeans.” See the study note on 21:4.
  2. Jeremiah 22:26 tn Heb “I will hurl you and your mother…into another land where…” The verb used here is very forceful. It is the verb used for Saul throwing a spear at David (1 Sam 18:11) and for the Lord unleashing a violent storm on the sea (Jonah 1:4). It is used both here and in v. 28 for the forceful exile of Jeconiah and his mother.
