WK Translation Notes

+
a
Verse 9 is not ill translated in the RV, though wordily: "And from among the peoples do men," etc. "And some," or "men," or "they," as in the KJV is more compact.
b
11:9The oldest MSS. have "see," while the T. R. and many others have "shall see."
c
Some MSS. read the plural.
