[15:27]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text hasוְאִם־נֶפֶשׁ אַחַת (vÿ’im-nefesh ’akhat), sometime translated “and if any soul.” But the word describes the whole person, the soul in the body; it refers here to the individual who sins.

[16:34]  ² tn Heb “all Israel.”

[16:34]  ³ tn Heb “voice.”

[16:34]  ⁴ tn Heb “lest.”

[16:45]  ⁵ tn Heb “they fell on their faces.”

[22:19]  ⁶ tn In this case “lodge” is not used, but “remain, reside” (שְׁבוּ, shÿvu).

[22:19]  ⁷ tn This clause is also a verbal hendiadys: “what the Lord might add to speak,” meaning, “what more the Lord might say.”

[24:24]  ⁸ tc The MT is difficult. The Kittim refers normally to Cyprus, or any maritime people to the west. W. F. Albright proposed emending the line to “islands will gather in the north, ships from the distant sea” (“The Oracles of Balaam,” JBL 63 [1944]: 222-23). Some commentators accept that reading as the original state of the text, since the present MT makes little sense.

[24:24]  ⁹ tn Or perhaps “Assyria” (so NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT).

[24:24]  ¹⁰ tn Or “it will end in utter destruction.”

[25:2]  ¹¹ tn The verb simply says “they called,” but it is a feminine plural. And so the women who engaged in immoral acts with Hebrew men invited them to their temple ritual.

[25:2]  ¹² sn What Israel experienced here was some of the debased ritual practices of the Canaanite people. The act of prostrating themselves before the pagan deities was probably participation in a fertility ritual, nothing short of cultic prostitution. This was a blatant disregard of the covenant and the Law. If something were not done, the nation would have destroyed itself.

[28:5]  ¹³ sn That is about two quarts.

[28:5]  ¹⁴ sn That is about one quart.

[30:9]  ¹⁵ tn The Hebrew text says her vow “shall stand against her.” In other words, she must fulfill, or bear the consequences of, whatever she vowed.
