[1:29]  ¹ tn Heb “do not tremble and do not be afraid.” Two synonymous commands are combined for emphasis.

[14:12]  ² tn NEB “the griffon-vulture.”

[14:12]  ³ tn The Hebrew term פֶּרֶס (peres) describes a large vulture otherwise known as the ossifrage (cf. KJV). This largest of the vultures takes its name from its habit of dropping skeletal remains from a great height so as to break the bones apart.

[14:12]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew term עָזְנִיָּה (’ozniyyah) may describe the black vulture (so NIV) or it may refer to the osprey (so NAB, NRSV, NLT), an eagle-like bird subsisting mainly on fish.

[7:18]  ⁵ tn Heb “recalling, you must recall.” The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute before the finite verb for emphasis. Cf. KJV, ASV “shalt well remember.”

[22:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “you must not see,” but, if translated literally into English, the statement is misleading.

[22:1]  ⁷ 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]  ⁸ tn Heb “hide yourself.”

[22:1]  ⁹ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with the words “without fail.”

[22:4]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “you must not see.” See note at 22:1.

[22:4]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and (must not) hide yourself from them.”

[22:4]  ¹² tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “be sure.”

[22:4]  ¹³ tn Heb “help him to lift them up.” In keeping with English style the singular is used in the translation, and the referent (“the animal”) has been specified for clarity.

[32:20]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “I will hide my face from them.”

[32:20]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “sons” (so NAB, NASB); TEV “unfaithful people.”

[20:1]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “horse and chariot.”

[20:1]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “people.”

[25:5]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “take her as wife”; NRSV “taking her in marriage.”

[25:5]  ¹⁹ sn This is the so-called “levirate” custom (from the Latin term levir, “brother-in-law”), an ancient provision whereby a man who died without male descendants to carry on his name could have a son by proxy, that is, through a surviving brother who would marry his widow and whose first son would then be attributed to the brother who had died. This is the only reference to this practice in an OT legal text but it is illustrated in the story of Judah and his sons (Gen 38) and possibly in the account of Ruth and Boaz (Ruth 2:8; 3:12; 4:6).

[28:55]  ²⁰ tn Heb “besiege,” redundant with the noun “siege.”

[31:17]  ²¹ tn Heb “on that day.” This same expression also appears later in the verse and in v. 18.

[31:17]  ²² tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[31:17]  ²³ tn Heb “find,” “encounter.”

[31:17]  ²⁴ tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[31:17]  ²⁵ tn Heb “he.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “they.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[31:17]  ²⁶ tn Heb “evils.”

[31:17]  ²⁷ tn Heb “me.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “us,” which is necessary in any case in the translation because of contemporary English style.

[31:17]  ²⁸ tn Heb “my.”

[31:17]  ²⁹ tn Heb “me.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “us,” which is necessary in any case in the translation because of contemporary English style.
