[10:4]  ¹ tn Heb “they shall assemble themselves.”

[14:7]  ² tn The repetition of the adverb מְאֹד (mÿ’od) is used to express this: “very, very [good].”

[15:20]  ³ tn Or “the first of your dough.” The phrase is not very clear. N. H. Snaith thinks it means a batch of loaves from the kneading trough – the first batch of the baking (Leviticus and Numbers [NCB], 251).

[23:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “word.”

[23:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “and thus you shall speak.”

Some commentators accept that reading as the original state of the text, since the present MT makes little sense.

[24:24]  ⁷ tn Or perhaps “Assyria” (so NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT).

[24:24]  ⁸ tn Or “it will end in utter destruction.”
