[10:1]  ¹ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

[10:1]  ² tn Or “like a dome.” See 1:22-26.

[10:20]  ³ tn Heb “That was the living creature.”

[15:2]  ⁴ tn Most modern translations take the statement as a comparison (“how is vine wood better than any forest wood?”) based on the preposition מִן (min).
