[15:39]  ¹ tn Heb “seek out, look into.”

[15:39]  ² tn This last clause is a relative clause explaining the influence of the human heart and physical sight. It literally says, “which you go whoring after them.” The verb for “whoring” may be interpreted to mean “act unfaithfully.” So, the idea is these influences lead to unfaithful activity: “after which you act unfaithfully.”

[17:10]  ³ tn The verb means “to finish; to complete” and here “to bring to an end.” It is the imperfect following the imperative, and so introduces a purpose clause (as a final imperfect).

[17:10]  ⁴ tn This is another final imperfect in a purpose clause.

[18:17]  ⁵ tn Or “throw, toss.”
