[5:10]  ¹ sn Horeb is another name for Mount Sinai (cf. Exod 3:1).

[5:10]  ² tn Heb “in Horeb where.”

[6:23]  ³ tn Heb “and you, hear [from] heaven and act and judge your servants by repaying the guilty, to give his way on his head, and to declare the innocent to be innocent, to give to him according to his innocence.”

[8:13]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew phrase הַסֻּכּוֹת[חַג] (khag hassukot, “[festival of] huts” [or “shelters”]) is traditionally known as the Feast of Tabernacles. The rendering “booths” (cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV) is probably better than the traditional “tabernacles” in light of the meaning of the term סֻכָּה (sukkah, “hut; booth”), but “booths” are frequently associated with trade shows and craft fairs in contemporary American English. The nature of the celebration during this feast as a commemoration of the wanderings of the Israelites after they left Egypt suggests that a translation like “temporary shelters” is more appropriate.

[20:25]  ⁵ tn Or “army.”

[20:25]  ⁶ tc The MT reads פְגָרִים (fÿgarim, “corpses”), but this seems odd among a list of plunder. A few medieval Hebrew mss and the Vulgate read בְגָדִים (vÿgadim, “clothing”), which fits the context much better.

[20:25]  ⁷ tn Heb “and they snatched away for themselves so that there was no carrying away.”

[20:25]  ⁸ tn Heb “and they were three days looting the plunder for it was great.”

[29:6]  ⁹ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[29:6]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “turned their faces.”

[29:6]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and turned the back.”

[30:21]  ¹² tn Heb “and they were praising the Lord day by day, the Levites and the priests with instruments of strength to the Lord.” The phrase בִּכְלֵי־עֹז (bikhley-’oz, “with instruments of strength”) might refer to loud sounding musical instruments (NASB “with loud instruments”; NEB “with unrestrained fervour”). The present translation assumes an emendation to בְּכָל־עֹז (bÿkhol-’oz, “with all strength”); see 1 Chr 13:8, as well as HALOT 805 s.v. I עֹז and BDB 739 s.v. עֹז).

[36:16]  ¹³ tn Heb “his words.”

[36:16]  ¹⁴ tn All three verbal forms (“mocked,” “despised,” and “ridiculed”) are active participles in the Hebrew text, indicating continual or repeated action. They made a habit of rejecting God’s prophetic messengers.

[36:16]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “until the anger of the Lord went up against his people until there was no healer.”
