[5:5]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Naaman) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:5]  ² tn The Hebrew term כִּכָּר (kikkar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or to a standard unit of weight, generally regarded as a talent. Since the accepted weight for a talent of metal is about 75 pounds, this would have amounted to about 750 pounds of silver (cf. NCV, NLT, CEV).

[5:5]  ³ tn Heb “six thousand gold […].” The unit of measure is not given in the Hebrew text. A number of English versions supply “pieces” (e.g., KJV, ASV, NAB, TEV) or “shekels” (e.g., NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[18:14]  ⁴ tn Or “I have done wrong.”

[18:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “Return from upon me; what you place upon me, I will carry.”

[18:14]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew term כִּכָּר (kikkar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or to a standard unit of weight, generally regarded as a talent. Since the accepted weight for a talent of metal is about 75 pounds, this would have amounted to about 22,500 pounds of silver and 2,250 pounds of gold.

[21:20]  ⁷ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[23:32]  ⁸ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[23:32]  ⁹ tn Heb “according to all which his fathers had done.”

[23:37]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[24:6]  ¹¹ tn Heb “lay down with his fathers.”

[24:9]  ¹² tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[24:19]  ¹³ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[24:19]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “according to all which Jehoiakim had done.”

[25:30]  ¹⁵ tc The words “until the day he died” do not appear in the MT, but they are included in the parallel passage in Jer 52:34. Probably they have been accidentally omitted by homoioteleuton. A scribe’s eye jumped from the final vav (ו) on בְּיוֹמוֹ (bÿyomo), “in his day,” to the final vav (ו) on מוֹתוֹ (moto), “his death,” leaving out the intervening words.
