[5:22]  ¹ tn Heb “from God [was] the battle.”

[5:22]  ² tn Heb “many slain fell.”

[5:22]  ³ tn Heb “and they lived in place of them until the exile.” The referent of “them” (the Hagrites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:11]  ⁴ tn The two verbs in the temporal clauses are by וְהָיָה כַּאֲשֶׁר (vÿhaya ka’asher, “as long as” or, “and it was that whenever”). This indicates that the two imperfect tenses should be given a frequentative translation, probably a customary imperfect.

[17:11]  ⁵ tn Or “lower.”

[10:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “listened to the voice of.”

[10:42]  ⁷ tn Heb “at one time.”

[10:1]  ⁹ map For location see Map5 B2; Map6 E1; Map7 E1; Map8 E3; Map10 A2; Map11 A1.

[10:1]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “as he had done to Jericho and to its king, so he did to Ai and to its king.”

[10:1]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and how.”

[7:12]  ¹² tn Cf. NAB, NRSV, NLT “Jeshanah.”

[7:12]  ¹³ sn The name Ebenezer (אֶבֶן הָעָזֶר) means “stone of help” in Hebrew (cf. TEV); NLT adds the meaning parenthetically after the name.

[46:1]  ¹⁴ sn Psalm 46. In this so-called “Song Of Zion” God’s people confidently affirm that they are secure because the great warrior-king dwells within Jerusalem and protects it from the nations that cause such chaos in the earth. A refrain (vv. 7, 11) concludes the song’s two major sections.

[46:1]  ¹⁵ sn The meaning of the Hebrew term עֲלָמוֹת (alamoth, which means “young women”) is uncertain; perhaps it refers to a particular style of music. Cf. 1 Chr 15:20.

[46:1]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “our refuge and strength,” which is probably a hendiadys meaning “our strong refuge” (see Ps 71:7). Another option is to translate, “our refuge and source of strength.”

[46:1]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “a helper in times of trouble he is found [to be] greatly.” The perfect verbal form has a generalizing function here. The adverb מְאֹד (mÿ’od, “greatly”) has an emphasizing function.

[146:6]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “the one who guards faithfulness forever.”
