22:16 ⁵ “If a man seduces a virgin ⁶  who is not engaged ⁷  and has sexual relations with her, he must surely endow ⁸  her to be his wife. 22:17 If her father refuses to give her to him, he must pay money for the bride price of virgins.

18:25 Saul replied, “Here is what you should say to David: ‘There is nothing that the king wants as a price for the bride except a hundred Philistine foreskins, so that he can be avenged of his ¹⁴  enemies.’” (Now Saul was thinking that he could kill David by the hand of the Philistines.)

18:26 So his servants told David these things and David agreed ¹⁵  to become the king’s son-in-law. Now the specified time had not yet expired ¹⁶  18:27 when David, along with his men, went out ¹⁷  and struck down two hundred Philistine men. David brought their foreskins and presented all of them to the king so he could become the king’s son-in-law. Saul then gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.

[24:53]  ¹ tn Heb “the servant”; the noun has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[29:18]  ² tn Heb “Jacob loved.”

[31:41]  ³ tn Heb “this to me.”

[31:41]  ⁴ tn Heb “served you,” but in this accusatory context the meaning is more “worked like a slave.”

[22:16]  ⁵ sn The second half of the chapter records various laws of purity and justice. Any of them could be treated in an expository way, but in the present array they offer a survey of God’s righteous standards: Maintain the sanctity of marriage (16-17); maintain the purity of religious institutions (18-20), maintain the rights of human beings (21-28), maintain the rights of Yahweh (29-31).

[22:16]  ⁶ tn This is the word בְּתוּלָה (bÿtulah); it describes a young woman who is not married or a young woman engaged to be married; in any case, she is presumed to be a virgin.

[22:16]  ⁷ tn Or “pledged” for marriage.

[22:16]  ⁸ tn The verb מָהַר (mahar) means “pay the marriage price,” and the related noun is the bride price. B. Jacob says this was a proposal gift and not a purchase price (Exodus, 700). This is the price paid to her parents, which allowed for provision should there be a divorce. The amount was usually agreed on by the two families, but the price was higher for a pure bride from a noble family. Here, the one who seduces her must pay it, regardless of whether he marries her or not.

[22:28]  ⁹ tn Heb “lies with.”

[22:1]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “you must not see,” but, if translated literally into English, the statement is misleading.

[22:1]  ¹¹ tn Heb “brother’s” (also later in this verse). In this context it is not limited to one’s siblings, however; cf. NAB “your kinsman’s.”

[22:1]  ¹² tn Heb “hide yourself.”

[22:1]  ¹³ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with the words “without fail.”

[18:25]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “the king’s.”

[18:26]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and it was acceptable in the eyes of David.”

[18:26]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “the days were not fulfilled.”

[18:27]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “arose and went.”

[18:2]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “him”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:2]  ¹⁹ tc The LXX reads “a homer of barley and a measure of wine,” a reading followed by some English translations (e.g., NRSV, NLT).

[3:2]  tn Heb “a homer of barley and a lethech of barley.” A homer was about 5 bushels (180 liters) and a lethech about 2.5 bushels (90 liters).

[14:17]  ²⁰ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
