[12:32]  ¹ tn The form is the Piel perfect with a vav (ו) consecutive (וּבֵרַכְתֶּם, uverakhtem); coming in the sequence of imperatives this perfect tense would be volitional – probably a request rather than a command.

[12:32]  sn Pharaoh probably meant that they should bless him also when they were sacrificing to Yahweh in their religious festival – after all, he might reason, he did let them go (after divine judgment). To bless him would mean to invoke good gifts from God for him.

[12:1]  ² sn Chapter 12 details the culmination of the ten plagues on Egypt and the beginning of the actual deliverance from bondage. Moreover, the celebration of this festival of Passover was to become a central part of the holy calendar of Israel. The contents of this chapter have significance for NT studies as well, since the Passover was a type of the death of Jesus. The structure of this section before the crossing of the sea is as follows: the institution of the Passover (12:1-28), the night of farewell and departure (12:29-42), slaves and strangers (12:43-51), and the laws of the firstborn (13:1-16). In this immediate section there is the institution of the Passover itself (12:1-13), then the Unleavened Bread (12:14-20), and then the report of the response of the people (12:21-28).

[12:1]  ³ tn Heb “and Yahweh said.”

[12:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “saying.”

[2:30]  ⁵ tn The infinitive absolute appears before the finite verb for emphasis.

[2:30]  ⁶ tn Heb “walk about before.”

[2:30]  ⁷ tn Heb “may it be far removed from me.”

[12:19]  ⁸ tn Heb “for we have added to all our sins an evil [thing] by asking for ourselves a king.”

[15:24]  ⁹ tn Heb “the mouth of the Lord.”

[15:24]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and your words.”

[15:24]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and I listened to their voice.”

[15:25]  ¹² tn Following the imperative, the cohortative with the prefixed conjunction indicates purpose/result.

[15:1]  ¹³ tn Heb “to the voice of the words of the Lord” (so KJV).

[13:6]  ¹⁴ tn Or “had passed through,” “had traveled through.”

[13:6]  ¹⁵ sn Paphos. A city on the southwestern coast of the island of Cyprus. It was the seat of the Roman proconsul.

[13:6]  ¹⁶ sn Named Bar-Jesus. “Jesus” is the Latin form of the name “Joshua.” The Aramaic “bar” means “son of,” so this man was surnamed “son of Joshua.” The scene depicts the conflict between Judaism and the emerging new faith at a cosmic level, much like the Simon Magus incident in Acts 8:9-24. Paul’s ministry looks like Philip’s and Peter’s here.

[42:2]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “please let our petition fall before you.” For the idiom here see 37:20 and the translator’s note there.

[42:2]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “on behalf of us, [that is] on behalf of all this remnant.”

[42:2]  sn This refers to the small remnant of people who were left of those from Mizpah who had been taken captive by Ishmael after he had killed Gedaliah and who had been rescued from him at Gibeon. There were other Judeans still left in the land of Judah who had not been killed or deported by the Babylonians.

[42:2]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “For we are left a few from the many as your eyes are seeing us.” The words “used to be” are not in the text but are implicit. These words are supplied in the translation for clarity and smoothness of English style.

[8:24]  ²⁰ tn Grk “Simon answered and said.”

[8:24]  sn Given that Simon does not follow Peter’s call for repentance, many interpreters read this reply as flippant rather than sincere. But the exact nature of Simon’s reply is not entirely clear.

[8:24]  ²¹ tn Grk “may come upon.”

[3:9]  ²² tn Grk “behold” (L&N 91.13).

[3:9]  ²³ sn See the note on synagogue in 2:9.

[3:9]  ²⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast between what these people claimed and what they were.

[3:9]  ²⁵ tn The verb here is ποιέω (poiew), but in this context it has virtually the same meaning as δίδωμι (didwmi) used at the beginning of the verse. Stylistic variation like this is typical of Johannine literature.

[3:9]  ²⁶ tn The verb here is προσκυνήσουσιν (proskunhsousin), normally used to refer to worship.

[3:9]  ²⁷ tn Or “and know,” “and recognize.”
