Footnotes

  1. Ezra 7:9 tc The translation reads יִסַּד (yissad, “he appointed” [= determined]) rather than the reading יְסֻד (yesud, “foundation”) of the MT. (The words “to make” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.)
  2. Ezra 7:9 sn Apparently it took the caravan almost four months to make the 500 mile journey.
