2 Tawarikh 6:29-31

6:29 When all your people Israel pray and ask for help, ¹  as they acknowledge their intense pain ²  and spread out their hands toward this temple, 6:30 then listen from your heavenly dwelling place, forgive their sin, ³  and act favorably toward each one based on your evaluation of their motives. ⁴  (Indeed you are the only one who can correctly evaluate the motives of all people.) ⁵  6:31 Then they will honor ⁶  you by obeying you ⁷  throughout their lifetimes as ⁸  they live on the land you gave to our ancestors.

[6:29]  ¹ tn Heb “every prayer, every request for help which will be to all the people, to all your people Israel.”

[6:29]  ² tn Heb “which they know, each his pain and his affliction.”

[6:30]  ³ tn The words “their sin” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied for clarification.

[6:30]  ⁴ tn Heb “and act and give to each one according to all his ways because you know his heart.” In the Hebrew text vv. 28-30a actually contain one lengthy conditional sentence, which the translation has divided up for stylistic reasons.

[6:30]  ⁵ tn Heb “Indeed you know, you alone, the heart of all the sons of mankind.”

[6:31]  ⁶ tn Heb “fear.”

[6:31]  ⁷ tn Heb “by walking in your ways.”

[6:31]  ⁸ tn Heb “all the days [in] which.”
