[32:36]  ¹ tn The translation understands the verb in the sense of “be grieved, relent” (cf. HALOT 689 s.v. נחם hitp 2); cf. KJV, ASV “repent himself”; NLT “will change his mind.” Another option is to translate “will show compassion to” (see BDB 637 s.v. נחם); cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV.

[3:26]  ² tn Heb “the woman whose son was alive.”

[3:26]  ³ tn Heb “for her compassions grew warm for her son.”

[3:26]  ⁴ tn The infinitive absolute before the negated jussive emphasizes the main verb.

[54:8]  ⁵ tn According to BDB 1009 s.v. שֶׁטֶף the noun שֶׁצֶף here is an alternate form of שֶׁטֶף (shetef, “flood”). Some relate the word to an alleged Akkadian cognate meaning “strength.”

[54:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “I hid my face from you.”

[54:8]  ⁷ tn Or “redeemer.” See the note at 41:14.
