[14:39]  ¹ tn Heb “and there was no one answering from all the army.”

[38:24]  ² tn Heb “it was told to Judah, saying.”

[38:24]  ³ tn Or “has been sexually promiscuous.” The verb may refer here to loose or promiscuous activity, not necessarily prostitution.

[38:24]  ⁴ tn Heb “and also look, she is with child by prostitution.”

[38:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “a man, a Canaanite.”

[38:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “and his name was Shua.”

[38:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “and he took her.”

[38:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “and he went to her.” This expression is a euphemism for sexual intercourse.

[12:5]  ⁹ tn Heb “anointed [one].”

[12:5]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “that you have not found anything in my hand.”

[12:1]  ¹¹ tn Heb “Look, I have listened to your voice.”

[12:1]  ¹² tn Heb “to all which you said to me.”

[12:1]  ¹³ tn Heb “and I have installed a king over you.”

[25:16]  ¹⁴ tn The verse simply begins “you have found honey.” Some turn this into an interrogative clause for the condition laid down (cf. KJV, ASV, NASB, NLT); most make the form in some way subordinate to the following instruction: “when you find…eat.”

[25:16]  ¹⁵ tn The verb means “to be satisfied; to be sated; to be filled.” Here it means more than satisfied, since it describes one who overindulges and becomes sick. The English verb “stuffed” conveys this idea well.

[25:16]  ¹⁶ sn The proverb warns that anything overindulged in can become sickening. The verse uses formal parallelism to express first the condition and then its consequences. It teaches that moderation is wise in the pleasures of life.
