[1:39]  ¹ tn Heb “the horn of oil.” This has been specified as olive oil in the translation for clarity.

[1:39]  sn A horn filled with oil. An animal’s horn was used as an oil flask in the anointing ceremony.

[1:39]  ² tn Or “anointed.”

[3:4]  ³ tn Heb “for it was the great high place.”

[3:4]  ⁴ tn The verb form is an imperfect, which is probably used here in a customary sense to indicate continued or repeated action in past time. See GKC 314 §107.b.

[13:12]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew text has “and his sons saw” (וַיִּרְאוּ [vayyir’u], Qal from רָאָה [ra’ah]). In this case the verbal construction (vav consecutive + prefixed verbal form) would have to be understood as pluperfect, “his sons had seen.” Such uses of this construction are rare at best. Consequently many, following the lead of the ancient versions, prefer to emend the verbal form to a Hiphil with pronominal suffix (וַיַּרְאֻהוּ [vayyar’uhu], “and they showed him”).

[13:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “the man of God.”

[16:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “and he burned the house of the king over him with fire and he died.”

[20:15]  ⁸ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Ahab) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:15]  ⁹ tn Heb “after them he assembled all the people, all the sons of Israel, seven thousand.”
