The author is using this phrase to introduce a new event. See how you translated it in [2:1](../02/01.md).

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in,thirty and,seven year of,the_exile_of Yəhōyākīn/(Jehoiachin) king Yehuda in,two_plus ten month on_[day],twenty and=seven of,month released Evil- -merodach king Bāⱱel in=year he,became_king DOM head Yəhōyākīn/(Jehoiachin) king Yehuda from,a_house_of imprisonment )
The author is using lifted the head as a common expression of his culture to mean that Evil Merodach brought Jehoiachin from a lower position to a higher position. In this context, it means specifically that he “released Jehoiachin” from prison. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. If you have already translated the book of Genesis, see how you translated the similar expression in [Genesis 40:13](../../gen/40/13.md). Alternate translation: [set free Jehoiachin]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
