[2:4]  ¹ tn Or “stood.” The verb is the Hitpael preterite of יָצַב (yatsav), although the form is anomalous and perhaps should be spelled as in the Samaritan Pentateuch (see GKC 193 §71). The form yields the meaning of “take a stand, position or station oneself.” His sister found a good vantage point to wait and see what might become of the infant.

[2:4]  ² tn Heb “to know”; many English versions have “to see.”

[2:4]  ³ tn The verb is a Niphal imperfect; it should be classified here as a historic future, future from the perspective of a point in a past time narrative.

[19:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “do not go near a woman”; NIV “Abstain from sexual relations.”

[19:15]  sn B. Jacob (Exodus, 537) notes that as the people were to approach him they were not to lose themselves in earthly love. Such separations prepared the people for meeting God. Sinai was like a bride, forbidden to anyone else. Abstinence was the spiritual preparation for coming into the presence of the Holy One.

[21:31]  ⁵ tn Heb “it”; the referent (the ox) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:31]  ⁶ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the owner) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:31]  ⁷ tn Heb “according to this judgment it shall be done to him.”

[25:27]  ⁸ tn Heb “houses”; NAB, NASB “holders.”

[35:26]  ⁹ tn The text simply uses a prepositional phrase, “with/in wisdom.” It seems to be qualifying “the women” as the relative clause is.

[40:23]  ¹⁰ tn Heb uses a cognate accusative construction, “he arranged the arrangement.”
