[1:9]  ¹ tn Heb “you word.”

[1:9]  ² tn Or “be firm, established.”

[1:10]  ³ tn The cohortative with prefixed vav (ו) following the imperative here indicates purpose/result.

[1:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “so I may go out before this nation and come in.” The expression “go out…and come in” here means “to lead” (see HALOT 425 s.v. יצא qal.4).

[1:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “for.” The word “otherwise” is used to reflect the logical sense of the statement.

[1:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “who is able?” The rhetorical question anticipates the answer, “no one.”

[1:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “to judge.”

[1:10]  ⁸ tn Heb “these numerous people of yours.”

[6:19]  ⁹ tn Heb “turn to.”

[6:19]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “by listening to.”

[6:19]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the loud cry and the prayer.”

[6:19]  ¹² tn Heb “praying before you.”

[6:22]  ¹³ tn Heb “and if the man who sins against his neighbor when one takes up against him a curse to curse him and the curse comes before your altar in this house.”

[6:25]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 31, 38).

[7:13]  ¹⁵ tn Or “if.”

[7:13]  ¹⁶ tn Or “heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[7:13]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “the land,” which stands here by metonymy for the vegetation growing in it.

[7:19]  ¹⁸ tn The Hebrew pronoun is plural, suggesting that Solomon and all Israel (or perhaps Solomon and his successors) are in view. To convey this to the English reader, the translation “you people” has been employed.

[7:19]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “which I placed before you.”

[7:19]  ²⁰ tn Heb “and walk and serve other gods and bow down to them.”

[10:4]  ²¹ tn Heb “made our yoke burdensome.”

[10:4]  ²² tn Heb “but you, now, lighten the burdensome work of your father and the heavy yoke which he placed on us, and we will serve you.” In the Hebrew text the prefixed verbal form with vav (וְנַעַבְדֶךָ, vÿna’avdekha, “and we will serve you”) following the imperative (הָקֵל, haqel, “lighten”) indicates purpose/result. The conditional sentence used in the present translation is an attempt to bring out the logical relationship between these forms.

[18:27]  ²³ tn Heb “Listen.”

[19:7]  ²⁴ tn Heb “and now let the terror of the Lord be upon you, be careful and act for there is not with the Lord our God injustice, lifting up of a face, and taking a bribe.”

[30:7]  ²⁵ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 19, 22).

[30:7]  ²⁶ tn Heb “and he made them a devastation” (or, perhaps, “an object of horror”).
