and falsely accuse me. ⁶ 

[10:6]  ¹ tn Heb “he says in his heart/mind.”

[10:6]  ² tn Heb “for a generation and a generation.” The traditional accentuation of the MT understands these words with the following line.

[10:6]  ³ tn Heb “who, not in calamity.” If אֲשֶׁר (’asher) is taken as a relative pronoun here, then one could translate, “[I] who [am] not in calamity.” Some emend אֲשֶׁר to אֹשֶׁר (’osher, “happiness”; see HALOT 99 s.v. אֹשֶׁר); one might then translate, “[I live in] happiness, not in calamity.” The present translation assumes that אֲשֶׁר functions here as a causal conjunction, “because, for.” For this use of אֲשֶׁר, see BDB 83 s.v. אֲשֶׁר 8.c (where the present text is not cited).

[19:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “their.” The antecedent of the plural pronoun is “heavens” (v. 1).

[35:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “witnesses of violence rise up.”

[35:11]  ⁶ tn Heb “[that] which I do not know they ask me.”
