9:7 Who ever serves in the army at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its fruit? Who tends a flock and does not consume its milk?

[35:21]  ¹ tn Heb “man.”

[35:21]  ² tn The verb means “lift up, bear, carry.” Here the subject is “heart” or will, and so the expression describes one moved within to act.

[35:21]  ³ tn Heb “his spirit made him willing.” The verb is used in Scripture for the freewill offering that people brought (Lev 7).

[35:21]  ⁴ tn Literally “the garments of holiness,” the genitive is the attributive genitive, marking out what type of garments these were.

[35:22]  ⁵ tn The expression in Hebrew is “men on/after the women,” meaning men with women, to ensure that it was clear that the preceding verse did not mean only men. B. Jacob takes it further, saying that the men came after the women because the latter had taken the initiative (Exodus, 1017).

[35:22]  ⁶ tn Heb “all gold utensils.”

[35:22]  ⁷ tn The verb could be translated “offered,” but it is cognate with the following noun that is the wave offering. This sentence underscores the freewill nature of the offerings people made. The word “came” is supplied from v. 21 and v. 22.

[35:26]  ⁸ tn The text simply uses a prepositional phrase, “with/in wisdom.” It seems to be qualifying “the women” as the relative clause is.

[35:27]  ⁹ tn Heb “and stones of the filling.”

[35:29]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “by the hand of.”

[35:29]  ¹¹ tn Here “them” has been supplied.

[36:2]  ¹² tn The verb קָרָא (qara’) plus the preposition “to” – “to call to” someone means “to summon” that person.

[36:2]  ¹³ tn Here there is a slight change: “in whose heart Yahweh had put skill.”

[36:2]  ¹⁴ tn Or “whose heart was willing.”

[36:2]  ¹⁵ sn The verb means more than “approach” or “draw near”; קָרַב (qarav) is the word used for drawing near the altar as in bringing an offering. Here they offer themselves, their talents and their time.

[36:2]  ¹⁶ tn The verb קָרָא (qara’) plus the preposition “to” – “to call to” someone means “to summon” that person.

[36:2]  ¹⁷ tn Here there is a slight change: “in whose heart Yahweh had put skill.”

[36:2]  ¹⁸ tn Or “whose heart was willing.”

[36:2]  ¹⁹ sn The verb means more than “approach” or “draw near”; קָרַב (qarav) is the word used for drawing near the altar as in bringing an offering. Here they offer themselves, their talents and their time.

[12:4]  ²⁰ tn Heb “made our yoke burdensome.”

[12:4]  ²¹ tn Heb “but you, now, lighten the burdensome work of your father and the heavy yoke which he placed on us, and we will serve you.” In the Hebrew text the prefixed verbal form with vav (וְנַעַבְדֶךָ, [vÿna’avdekha] “and we will serve you”) following the imperative (הָקֵל [haqel], “lighten”) indicates purpose (or result). The conditional sentence used in the translation above is an attempt to bring out the logical relationship between these forms.

[12:1]  ²² tn Heb “come [to].”

[12:1]  ²³ tn Heb “him”; the referent (Rehoboam) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[29:7]  ²⁴ tn See the note on the word “talents” in 19:6. Using the “light” standard talent of 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg) as the standard for calculation, the people donated 168.3 tons (153,000 kg) of gold, 336.5 tons (306,000 kg) of silver, 605.7 tons (550,800 kg) of bronze, and 3,365 tons (3,060,000 kg) of iron.

[29:7]  ²⁵ tn On the “daric” as a unit of measure, see BDB 204 s.v. דַּרְכְּמוֹן. Some have regarded the daric as a minted coin, perhaps even referring to the Greek drachma, but this is less likely.

[29:7]  sn The daric was a unit of weight perhaps equal to between 8 and 9 grams (just under one-third of an ounce), so 10,000 darics of gold would weigh between 80 and 90 kilograms (between 176 and 198 pounds).

[29:9]  ²⁶ tn Heb “with a complete heart.”

[29:9]  ²⁷ tn Heb “was rejoiced with great joy.”

[29:2]  ²⁸ tn Heb “and according to all my strength.”

[29:2]  ²⁹ tn Heb “the gold for the gold, and the silver for the silver, and the bronze for the bronze, and the iron for the iron, and the wood for the wood.”

[29:1]  ³⁰ tn Heb “a young man and tender.”

[2:68]  ³¹ tn Heb “the heads of the fathers.”

[2:68]  ³² tn Heb “cause it to stand.”

[7:70]  ³³ tn Heb “the heads of the fathers.”

[7:70]  ³⁴ tn Heb “darics” (also in vv. 71, 72).

[7:2]  ³⁶ tn Some have suggested that “Hananiah” is another name for Hanani, Nehemiah’s brother, so that only one individual is mentioned here. However, the third person plural in v. 3 indicates two people are in view.

[8:11]  ³⁷ tn Grk “the one who is weak…the brother for whom Christ died,” but see note on the word “Christian” in 5:11.

[8:11]  ³⁸ tn This may be an indirect middle, “destroys himself.”

[8:12]  ³⁹ tn See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.
