Keluaran 36:38

36:38 and its five posts and their hooks. He overlaid their tops ¹⁶  and their bands with gold, but their five bases were bronze. ¹⁷ 

Keluaran 28:25

28:25 the other ¹⁸  two ends of the two chains you will attach to the two settings and then attach them ¹⁹  to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front of it.

Keluaran 26:4

26:4 You are to make loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and in the same way you are to make loops ²⁰  in the outer edge of the end curtain in the second set.

Keluaran 39:15

39:15 They made for the breastpiece braided chains like cords of pure gold,

Keluaran 28:34

28:34 The pattern is to be ²⁵  a gold bell and a pomegranate, a gold bell and a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe.

Keluaran 10:14

10:14 The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt and settled down in all the territory ²⁶  of Egypt. It was very severe; ²⁷  there had been no locusts like them before, nor will there be such ever again. ²⁸

[26:28]  ¹ sn These bars served as reinforcements to hold the upright frames together. The Hebrew term for these bars is also used of crossbars on gates (Judg 16:3; Neh 3:3).

[37:8]  ² tn Heb “from/at [the] end, from this.”

[37:8]  ³ tn The repetition of the expression indicates it has the distributive sense.

[25:19]  ⁴ tn The text now shifts to use an imperative with the vav (ו) conjunction.

[25:19]  ⁵ tn The use of זֶה (zeh) repeated here expresses the reciprocal ideas of “the one” and “the other” (see R. J. Williams, Hebrew Syntax, 26, §132).

[25:19]  ⁶ sn The angels were to form one piece with the lid and not be separated. This could be translated “of one piece with” the lid, but it is likely the angels were simply fastened to it permanently.

[28:7]  ⁷ tn Here the Pual perfect with the vav (ו) consecutive provides the purpose clause (equal to a final imperfect); the form follows the use of the active participle, “attached” or more Heb “joining.”

[25:18]  ⁸ tn The evidence suggests that the cherubim were composite angelic creatures that always indicated the nearness of God. So here images of them were to be crafted and put on each end of the ark of the covenant to signify that they were there. Ezekiel 1 describes four cherubim as each having human faces, four wings, and parts of different animals for their bodies. Traditions of them appear in the other cultures as well. They serve to guard the holy places and to bear the throne of God. Here they were to be beaten out as part of the lid.

[28:23]  ⁹ tn Heb “give, put.”

[28:23]  ¹⁰ tn Here “upper” has been supplied.

[39:16]  ¹¹ tn Here “upper” has been supplied.

[28:26]  ¹² tn Here “other” has been supplied.

[39:18]  ¹³ tn Here “other” has been supplied.

[39:19]  ¹⁴ tn Here “other” has been supplied.

[39:19]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “homeward side.”

[36:38]  ¹⁶ tn The word is “their heads”; technically it would be “their capitals” (so ASV, NAB, NRSV). The bands were bands of metal surrounding these capitals just beneath them. These are not mentioned in Exod 26:37, and it sounds like the posts are to be covered with gold. But the gradation of metals is what is intended: the posts at the entrance to the Most Holy Place are all of gold; the posts at the entrance to the tent are overlaid with gold at the top; and the posts at the entrance to the courtyard are overlaid with silver at the top (S. R. Driver, Exodus, 387, citing Dillmann without reference).

[36:38]  ¹⁷ sn For a good summary of the differences between the instruction section and the completion section, and the reasons for the changes and the omissions, see B. Jacob, Exodus, 1022-23.

[28:25]  ¹⁸ tn Here “the other” has been supplied.

[28:25]  ¹⁹ tn Here “them” has been supplied.

[26:4]  ²⁰ tn Here “loops” has been supplied.

[38:28]  ²¹ tn Here the word “shekels” is understood; about 45 pounds.

[38:17]  ²² tn Heb “they were banded with silver.”

[8:2]  ²³ tn The construction here uses the deictic particle and the participle to convey the imminent future: “I am going to plague/about to plague.” The verb נָגַף (nagaf) means “to strike, to smite,” and its related noun means “a blow, a plague, pestilence” or the like. For Yahweh to say “I am about to plague you” could just as easily mean “I am about to strike you.” That is why these “plagues” can be described as “blows” received from God.

[8:2]  ²⁴ tn Heb “plague all your border with frogs.” The expression “all your border” is figurative for all the territory of Egypt and the people and things that are within the borders (also used in Exod 10:4, 14, 19; 13:7).

[8:2]  sn This word for frogs is mentioned in the OT only in conjunction with this plague (here and Pss 78:45, 105:30). R. A. Cole (Exodus [TOTC], 91) suggests that this word “frogs” (צְפַרְדְּעִים, tsÿfardÿ’im) may be an onomatopoeic word, something like “croakers”; it is of Egyptian origin and could be a Hebrew attempt to write the Arabic dofda.

[28:34]  ²⁵ tn The words “the pattern is to be” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[10:14]  ²⁶ tn Heb “border.”

[10:14]  ²⁷ tn This is an interpretive translation. The clause simply has כָּבֵד מְאֹד (kaved mÿ’od), the stative verb with the adverb – “it was very heavy.” The description prepares for the following statement about the uniqueness of this locust infestation.

[10:14]  ²⁸ tn Heb “after them.”

[28:33]  ²⁹ sn This must mean round balls of yarn that looked like pomegranates. The fruit was very common in the land, but there is no indication of the reason for its choice here. Pomegranates are found in decorative schemes in Ugarit, probably as signs of fertility. It may be that here they represent the blessing of God on Israel in the land. The bells that are between them possibly have the intent of drawing God’s attention as the priest moves and the bells jingle (anthropomorphic, to be sure), or that the people would know that the priest was still alive and moving inside. Some have suggested that the pomegranate may have recalled the forbidden fruit eaten in the garden (the gems already have referred to the garden), the reason for the priest entering for atonement, and the bells would divert the eye (of God) to remind him of the need. This is possible but far from supportable, since nothing is said of the reason, nor is the fruit in the garden identified.

[28:33]  ³⁰ tn The text repeats the idea: “you will make for its hem…all around its hem.”

[26:5]  ³¹ tn Heb “a woman to her sister.”

[27:4]  ³² tn The noun מִכְבָּר (mikhbar) means “a grating”; it is related to the word that means a “sieve.” This formed a vertical support for the ledge, resting on the ground and supporting its outer edge (S. R. Driver, Exodus, 292).

[33:23]  ³³ tn The plural “my backs” is according to Gesenius an extension plural (compare “face,” a dual in Hebrew). The word denotes a locality in general, but that is composed of numerous parts (see GKC 397 §124.b). W. C. Kaiser says that since God is a spirit, the meaning of this word could just as easily be rendered “after effects” of his presence (“Exodus,” EBC 2:484). As S. R. Driver says, though, while this may indicate just the “afterglow” that he leaves behind him, it was enough to suggest what the full brilliancy of his presence must be (Exodus, 363; see also Job 26:14).

[33:23]  ³⁴ tn The Niphal imperfect could simply be rendered “will not be seen,” but given the emphasis of the preceding verses, it is more binding than that, and so a negated obligatory imperfect fits better: “it must not be seen.” It would also be possible to render it with a potential imperfect tense: “it cannot be seen.”

[39:26]  ³⁵ tn The words “there was” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[39:26]  ³⁶ tn The infinitive “to minister” is present; “to be used” is supplied from the context.

[32:27]  ³⁷ tn Heb “put.”

[32:27]  ³⁸ tn The two imperatives form a verbal hendiadys: “pass over and return,” meaning, “go back and forth” throughout the camp.

[32:27]  ³⁹ tn The phrases have “and kill a man his brother, and a man his companion, and a man his neighbor.” The instructions were probably intended to mean that they should kill leaders they knew to be guilty because they had been seen or because they failed the water test – whoever they were.

[39:24]  ⁴⁰ tn The word is simply “twined” or “twisted.” It may refer to the twisted linen that so frequently is found in these lists; or, it may refer to the yarn twisted. The LXX reads “fine twined linen.” This is not found in the text of Exod 28:33, except in Smr and LXX.
