[15:14] 1 tn The word גּוּר (gur) was traditionally translated “to sojourn,” i.e., to live temporarily in a land. Here the two words are from the root: “if a sojourner sojourns.”
[15:14] 2 tn Heb “in your midst.”
[15:14] 3 tn The Hebrew text just has “to your generations,” but it means in the future.
[15:14] 4 tn The imperfect tenses must reflect the responsibility to comply with the law, and so the classifications of instruction or obligation may be applied.
[17:2] 5 tn Heb “receive from them a rod, a rod from the house of a father.”
[17:2] 6 tn Heb “from every leader of them according to their fathers’ house.”
[28:2] 7 tn Heb “and say to them.” These words have not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.
[28:2] 8 tn Th sentence begins with the accusative “my offering.” It is suspended at the beginning as an independent accusative to itemize the subject matter. The second accusative is the formal object of the verb. It could also be taken in apposition to the first accusative.

[30:2] 13 tn The expression is “swear an oath” (הִשָּׁבַע שְׁבֻעָה, hishava’ shÿvu’ah). The vow (נֵדֶר, neder) was a promise to donate something of oneself or one’s substance to the
[30:2] 14 tn The Hebrew text hasלֶאְסֹר אִסָּר (le’sor ’issar), meaning “to take a binding obligation.” This is usually interpreted to mean a negative vow, i.e., the person attempts to abstain from something that is otherwise permissible. It might involve fasting, or abstaining from marital sex, but it might also involve some goal to be achieved, and the abstaining from distractions until the vow is fulfilled (see Ps 132). The נֶדֶר (neder) may have been more for religious matters, and the אִסָּר more for social concerns, but this cannot be documented with certainty.
[30:2] 15 tn Heb “according to all that goes out of his mouth.”
[35:2] 16 tn The verb is the perfect tense with vav (ו) consecutive: “command…and they will give,” or “that they give.”
[35:2] 17 tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Israelites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
