[3:18]  ¹ tc The present translation follows the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate in reading “I will save,” rather than the MT “he saved.” The context calls for the 1st person common singular imperfect of the verb rather than the 3rd person masculine singular perfect.

[3:18]  ² tn Heb “from the hand of.”

[5:20]  ³ tn The name means “Lord of the outbursts.”

[7:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “cut off.”

[7:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “and I will make for you a great name like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.”
