[17:14]  ¹ tn Heb “and his throne will be established permanently.”

[16:17]  ² tn Or “eternal covenant.”

[16:36]  ³ tn Heb “from everlasting to everlasting.”

[16:36]  ⁴ tn This is the Hebrew term אָמֵן (’amen, “surely”), traditionally transliterated “amen.”

[17:27]  ⁵ tn Heb “house.”

[17:27]  ⁶ tn Heb “for you, O Lord, have blessed and [it is] blessed permanently.”

[29:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “assembly, and David said.” The words “and David said” are redundant according to contemporary English style and have not been included in the translation.

[16:15]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew text has a masculine plural imperative, addressed to the people. Some LXX mss harmonize the wording here to Ps 105:8, which has זָכַר (zakhar), the perfect third masculine singular form of the verb, “He (the Lord) remembers” (so NIV; NEB reads “He called to mind his covenant”).

[16:15]  ⁹ tn Heb “[the] word he commanded.” The text refers here to God’s unconditional covenantal promise to Abraham and the patriarchs, as vv. 16-18 make clear.

[16:34]  ¹⁰ tn Or “is eternal.”

[17:12]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and I will establish his throne permanently.”

[23:25]  ¹² map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[28:7]  ¹³ tn Heb “if he is strong to do my commands and my regulations like this day.”

[23:13]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and Aaron was set apart to consecrate it, the most holy things, he and his sons, permanently, to sacrifice before the Lord, to serve him, and to bless his name permanently.”

[16:41]  ¹⁵ tn Perhaps this refers to the refrain of their songs of praise (see Ps 136). In this case one could translate, “to give thanks to the Lord with songs using the refrain, ‘For his loyal love endures.’”

[17:22]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and you made your people Israel your own for a people permanently.”

[17:23]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and now, O Lord, the word which you spoke concerning your servant and concerning his house, may it be established permanently.”

[17:23]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “as you have spoken.”

[17:24]  ¹⁹ tn Following the imperative in v. 23b, the prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result: “so it might become a reality.”

[17:24]  ²⁰ tn Heb “so it might be established.”

[17:24]  ²¹ tn Heb “and your name might be great permanently.” Following the imperative in v. 23b, the prefixed verbal form with vav conjunctive indicates purpose/result (parallel to the previous purpose/result clause): “[so]…you might gain lasting fame.”

[17:24]  ²² tn Heb “saying.” The words “as people” are supplied in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.

[17:24]  ²³ tc Heb “the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts], the God of Israel, Israel’s God.” The phrases אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל (’elohey yisra’el, “God of Israel”) and אֱלֹהִים לְיִשְׂרָאֵל (’elohim lÿyisra’el, “Israel’s God”) are probably alternative readings that have been conflated in the text.

[17:24]  ²⁴ tn Heb “the house of David.”

[22:10]  ²⁵ tn Heb “for my name.”

[22:10]  ²⁶ tn Heb “and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel permanently.”

[29:18]  ²⁷ tn Heb “keep this permanently with respect to the motive of the thoughts of the heart of your people, and make firm their heart to you.”

[28:4]  ²⁸ tn Heb “out of all the house of my father to become king over all Israel permanently.”

[28:4]  ²⁹ tn Or “for.”

[28:4]  ³⁰ tn Heb “and among the sons of my father he desired to make me king over all Israel.”

[28:8]  ³¹ tn The words “I say this” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.
