[4:3]  ¹ tn Heb “And it happened at the end of days.” The clause indicates the passing of a set period of time leading up to offering sacrifices.

[4:3]  ² tn The Hebrew term מִנְחָה (minkhah, “offering”) is a general word for tribute, a gift, or an offering. It is the main word used in Lev 2 for the dedication offering. This type of offering could be comprised of vegetables. The content of the offering (vegetables, as opposed to animals) was not the critical issue, but rather the attitude of the offerer.

[4:16]  ³ sn The name Nod means “wandering” in Hebrew (see vv. 12, 14).

[9:26]  ⁴ tn Heb “blessed be.”

[9:26]  ⁵ tn Heb “a slave to him”; the referent (Shem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “the sons of man.” The phrase is intended in this polemic to portray the builders as mere mortals, not the lesser deities that the Babylonians claimed built the city.

[11:5]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew text simply has בָּנוּ (banu), but since v. 8 says they left off building the city, an ingressive idea (“had started building”) should be understood here.

[18:17]  ⁸ tn The active participle here refers to an action that is imminent.

[18:33]  ⁹ tn Heb “And the Lord went.”

[18:33]  ¹⁰ tn The infinitive construct (“speaking”) serves as the direct object of the verb “finished.”

[18:33]  ¹¹ tn Heb “to his place.”

[19:27]  ¹² tn The words “and went” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[46:2]  ¹³ tn Heb “in visions of the night.” The plural form has the singular meaning, probably as a plural of intensity.
