Lukas 8:38-39

8:38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go ¹⁸  with him, but Jesus ¹⁹  sent him away, saying, 8:39 “Return to your home, ²⁰  and declare ²¹  what God has done for you.” ²²  So ²³  he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole town ²⁴  what Jesus ²⁵  had done for him.

[24:56]  ¹ tn The disjunctive clause is circumstantial, indicating a reason for the preceding request.

[24:56]  ² tn After the preceding imperative, the cohortative with the prefixed conjunction indicates purpose or result.

[28:6]  ³ tn Heb “to take for himself from there a wife.”

[28:6]  ⁴ tn The infinitive construct with the preposition and the suffix form a temporal clause.

[28:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “you must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.”

[45:24]  ⁶ tn Heb “do not be stirred up in the way.” The verb means “stir up.” Some understand the Hebrew verb רָגָז (ragaz, “to stir up”) as a reference to quarreling (see Prov 29:9, where it has this connotation), but in Exod 15:14 and other passages it means “to fear.” This might refer to a fear of robbers, but more likely it is an assuring word that they need not be fearful about returning to Egypt. They might have thought that once Jacob was in Egypt, Joseph would take his revenge on them.

[45:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “and he gave his voice in weeping,” meaning that Joseph could not restrain himself and wept out loud.

[45:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “and the Egyptians heard and the household of Pharaoh heard.” Presumably in the latter case this was by means of a report.

[18:27]  ⁹ tn Heb “arose and went.”

[18:28]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “saw and knew.”

[18:28]  ¹¹ tn Heb “Saul’s.” In the translation the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun for stylistic reasons.

[18:28]  ¹² tn Heb “him”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:29]  ¹³ sn The word translated “skilled” is general enough to apply to any crafts; but it may refer to a scribe or an official (R. N. Whybray, Proverbs [CBC], 134).

[22:29]  ¹⁴ tn The verb form used twice here is יִתְיַצֵּב (yityatsev), the Hitpael imperfect of יָצַב (yatsav), which means “to set or station oneself; to take one’s stand” in this stem. With the form לִפְנֵי (life) it means “to present oneself before” someone; so here it has the idea of serving as a courtier in the presence of a king.

[22:29]  ¹⁵ sn The fifth saying affirms that true skill earns recognition and advancement (cf. Instruction of Amenemope, chap. 30, 27:16-17 [ANET 424]).

[7:10]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “these.” “Days” does not appear in the Hebrew text as second time, but is supplied in the translation for smoothness.

[7:10]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “It is not from wisdom that you ask about this.”

[8:38]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “be,” that is, “remain.” In this context that would involve accompanying Jesus as he went on his way.

[8:38]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:39]  ²⁰ tn Grk “your house.”

[8:39]  ²¹ tn Or “describe.”

[8:39]  ²² sn Jesus instructs the man to declare what God has done for him, in contrast to the usual instructions (e.g., 8:56; 9:21) to remain silent. Here in Gentile territory Jesus allowed more open discussion of his ministry. D. L. Bock (Luke [BECNT], 1:781) suggests that with few Jewish religious representatives present, there would be less danger of misunderstanding Jesus’ ministry as political.

[8:39]  ²³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the man’s response to Jesus’ instructions.

[8:39]  ²⁴ tn Or “city.”

[8:39]  ²⁵ sn Note that the man could not separate what God had done from the one through whom God had done it (what Jesus had done for him). This man was called to witness to God’s goodness at home.
