[7:1] 1 tn Heb “house” (also in the following verse).

[1:1] 7 tn Or “produced,” Grk “made.”
[1:1] 8 tn Or “first.” The translation “former” is preferred because “first” could imply to the modern English reader that the author means that his previous account was the first one to be written down. The Greek term πρῶτος (prwtos) does not necessarily mean “first” in an absolute sense, but can refer to the first in a set or series.
