Footnotes

  1. Leviticus 26:41 tn Heb “or then,” although the LXX has “then” and the Syriac “and then.”
  2. Leviticus 26:41 tn Heb “and then they make up for.” On the verb “make up for” see the note on v. 34 above.
  3. Leviticus 26:42 tn Heb “my covenant with Abraham I will remember.” The phrase “I will remember” has not been repeated in the translation for stylistic reasons.

  7. Leviticus 26:43 tn Heb “from them.”
