- 2 Chronicles 30:19 tn Heb “everyone [who] has prepared his heart to seek God.”
- 2 Chronicles 30:19 tn Heb “and not according to the purification of the holy place.”
- 2 Chronicles 30:20 tn Heb “listened.”
- 2 Chronicles 30:20 tn Heb “healed.”
- 2 Chronicles 30:21 tn Heb “and they were praising the Lord day by day, the Levites and the priests with instruments of strength to the Lord.” The phrase בִּכְלֵי־עֹז (bikhle ʿoz, “with instruments of strength”) might refer to loud sounding musical instruments (NASB “with loud instruments”; NEB “with unrestrained fervour”). The present translation assumes an emendation to בְּכָל־עֹז (bekhol ʿoz, “with all strength”); see 1 Chr 13:8, as well as HALOT 805 s.v. I עֹז and BDB 739 s.v. עֹז).
