[2:11]  ¹ tn Aram “whose dwelling is not with flesh.”

[2:43]  ² tc The present translation reads the conjunction, with most medieval Hebrew MSS, LXX, Vulgate, and the Qere. The Kethib lacks the conjunction.

[2:43]  ³ sn The reference to people being mixed is usually understood to refer to intermarriage.

[2:43]  ⁴ tn Aram “with the seed of men.”

[2:43]  ⁵ tc The present translation reads הֵיךְ דִּי (hekh diy) rather than the MT הֵא־כְדִי (he’-khÿdi). It is a case of wrong word division.

[4:22]  ⁶ sn Much of modern scholarship views this chapter as a distortion of traditions that were originally associated with Nabonidus rather than with Nebuchadnezzar. A Qumran text, the Prayer of Nabonidus, is often cited for parallels to these events.

[4:27]  ⁷ tn Aram “if there may be a lengthening to your prosperity.”

[5:17]  ⁸ tn Or “the.”

[11:28]  ⁹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king of the north) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:41]  ¹¹ tn This can be understood as “many people” (cf. NRSV) or “many countries” (cf. NASB, NIV, NLT).

[11:41]  ¹² tn Heb “be delivered from his hand.”

[11:45]  ¹³ sn Presumably seas refers to the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea.
