[65:15]  ¹ tn Heb “you will leave your name for an oath to my chosen ones.”

[65:15]  sn For an example of such a curse formula see Jer 29:22.

[65:1]  ² tn Heb “I allowed myself to be sought by those who did not ask.”

[65:1]  ³ tn Heb “I allowed myself to be found by those who did not seek.”

[65:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “call out in”; NASB, NIV, NRSV “call on.”

[33:12]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew noun is an abstract plural. The word often refers metonymically to the happiness that God-given security and prosperity produce (see Pss 1:1; 2:12; 34:9; 41:1; 65:4; 84:12; 89:15; 106:3; 112:1; 127:5; 128:1; 144:15).

[33:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “inheritance.”

[13:20]  ⁷ tn Grk “the days.”

[13:1]  ⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[13:1]  ⁹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:1]  ¹⁰ sn The Jerusalem temple was widely admired around the world. See Josephus, Ant. 15.11 [15.380-425]; J. W. 5.5 [5.184-227] and Tacitus, History 5.8, who called it “immensely opulent.” Josephus compared it to a beautiful snowcapped mountain.

[2:9]  ¹¹ tn The vav prefixed to וְגָדַלְתִּי (vÿgadalti, vav + Qal perfect first common singular from גָּדַל, gadal, “to be great; to increase”) functions in a final summarizing sense, that is, it introduces the concluding summary of 2:4-9.

[2:9]  ¹² tn Heb “I became great and I surpassed” (וְהוֹסַפְתִּי וְגָדַלְתִּי, vÿgadalti vÿhosafti). This is a verbal hendiadys in which the second verb functions adverbially, modifying the first: “I became far greater.” Most translations miss the hendiadys and render the line in a woodenly literal sense (KJV, ASV, RSV, NEB, NRSV, NAB, NASB, MLB, Moffatt), while only a few recognize the presence of hendiadys here: “I became greater by far” (NIV) and “I gained more” (NJPS).

[2:9]  ¹³ tn Heb “yet my wisdom stood for me,” meaning he retained his wise perspective despite his great wealth.

[17:14]  ¹⁴ tn See BDAG 636 s.v. μετά A.2.a.α.
