[2:9] 1 tn Heb “Ask! What can I do for you….?”
[2:9] 2 tn Heb “May a double portion of your spirit come to me.”
[8:1] 3 tn Heb “Get up and go, you and your house, and live temporarily where you can live temporarily.”
[17:16] 4 tn The phrase כָל צְבָא הַשָּׁמַיִם (khol tsÿva’ hashamayim), traditionally translated “all the host of heaven,” refers to the heavenly lights, including stars and planets.
