[33:11]  ¹ tn Heb “and they seized him with hooks.”

[36:17]  ² tn Heb “killed with the sword.”

[36:17]  ³ tn Heb “in the house of their sanctuary.”

[36:17]  ⁴ tn Or “show compassion to.”

[36:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:14]  ⁶ tn Grk “the seventh from Adam.”

[1:14]  sn The genealogical count is inclusive, counting Adam as the first, for Enoch is really the sixth in descent from Adam (Adam, Seth, Enosh, Cainan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch). In this way, the picture of perfection/completion was retained (for the number seven is often used for perfection or completion in the Bible) starting with Adam and concluding with Enoch.

[1:14]  ⁷ tn Grk “against them.” The dative τούτοις (toutois) is a dativus incommodi (dative of disadvantage).

[1:14]  ⁸ tn Grk “has come,” a proleptic aorist.

[1:14]  ⁹ tn Grk “ten thousands.” The word μυριάς (muria"), from which the English myriad is derived, means “ten thousand.” In the plural it means “ten thousands.” This would mean, minimally, 20,000 (a multiple of ten thousand). At the same time, the term was often used in apocalyptic literature to represent simply a rather large number, without any attempt to be specific.

[106:41]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “gave them into the hand of.”

[10:6]  ¹¹ sn Throughout this section singular forms are used to refer to Assyria; perhaps the king of Assyria is in view (see v. 12).

[10:6]  ¹² tn Or “defiled”; cf. ASV “profane”; NAB “impious”; NCV “separated from God.”

[10:6]  ¹³ tn Heb “and against the people of my anger I ordered him.”

[10:6]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “to make it [i.e., the people] a trampled place.”

[3:6]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “If the ram’s horn is blown.”

[3:6]  ¹⁶ tn Or “tremble” (NASB, NIV, NCV); or “shake.”

[3:6]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “is in”; NIV, NCV, NLT “comes to.”

[3:6]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “has the Lord not acted?”

[21:22]  ¹⁹ tn Or “of punishment.” This is a time of judgment.

[21:22]  ²⁰ tn The passive construction with the infinitive πλησθῆναι (plhsqhnai) has been translated as an active construction for simplicity, in keeping with contemporary English style.

[21:23]  ²¹ sn Great distress means that this is a period of great judgment.

[21:24]  ²² tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[21:24]  ²³ tn Grk “by the mouth of the sword” (an idiom for the edge of a sword).

[21:24]  ²⁴ sn Here is the predicted judgment against the nation until the time of Gentile rule has passed: Its people will be led away as captives.

[21:24]  ²⁵ tn Grk “And Jerusalem.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[21:24]  ²⁶ sn Until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled implies a time when Israel again has a central role in God’s plan.
