[1:8]  ¹ tn Heb “I have placed before you the land.”

[1:8]  ² tn Heb “the Lord.” Since the Lord is speaking, it is preferable for clarity to supply the first person pronoun in the translation.

[1:8]  ³ tn Heb “swore” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). This refers to God’s promise, made by solemn oath, to give the patriarchs the land.

[1:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 11, 21, 35).

[1:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “their seed after them.”

[1:16]  ⁶ tn Or “you.” A number of English versions treat the remainder of this verse and v. 17 as direct discourse rather than indirect discourse (cf. KJV, NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[1:16]  ⁷ tn Heb “brothers.” The term “brothers” could, in English, be understood to refer to siblings, so “fellow citizens” has been used in the translation.

[1:16]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew word צֶדֶק (tsedeq, “fairly”) carries the basic idea of conformity to a norm of expected behavior or character, one established by God himself. Fair judgment adheres strictly to that norm or standard (see D. Reimer, NIDOTTE 3:750).

[1:16]  ⁹ tn Heb “between a man and his brother.”

[1:16]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “his stranger” or “his sojourner”; NAB, NIV “an alien”; NRSV “resident alien.” The Hebrew word גֵּר (ger) commonly means “foreigner.”

[5:29]  ¹¹ tn Heb “keep” (so KJV, NAB, NIV, NRSV).

[9:14]  ¹² tn Heb “leave me alone.”

[9:14]  ¹³ tn Heb “from under heaven.”

[10:15]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 10:4.

[10:15]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “take delight to love.” Here again the verb אָהַב (’ahav, “love”), juxtaposed with בָחַר (bakhar, “choose”), is a term in covenant contexts that describes the Lord’s initiative in calling the patriarchal ancestors to be the founders of a people special to him (cf. the note on the word “loved” in Deut 4:37).

[10:15]  ¹⁶ tn The Hebrew text includes “after them,” but it is redundant in English style and has not been included in the translation.

[21:3]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “slain [one].”

[22:1]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “you must not see,” but, if translated literally into English, the statement is misleading.

[22:1]  ¹⁹ 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]  ²⁰ tn Heb “hide yourself.”

[22:1]  ²¹ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with the words “without fail.”

[22:3]  ²² tn Heb “your brother” (also in v. 4).

[22:3]  ²³ tn Heb “you must not hide yourself.”

[22:4]  ²⁴ tn Heb “you must not see.” See note at 22:1.

[22:4]  ²⁵ tn Heb “and (must not) hide yourself from them.”

[22:4]  ²⁶ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “be sure.”

[22:4]  ²⁷ 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.

[28:57]  ²⁸ tn Heb includes “that which comes out from between her feet.”

[28:57]  ²⁹ tn Heb “her sons that she will bear.”

[28:57]  ³⁰ tn Heb includes “in her need for everything.”

[32:20]  ³¹ tn Heb “I will hide my face from them.”

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