[4:44]  ¹ tn Heb “the sons of Israel” (likewise in the following verse).

[7:20]  ² tn The meaning of the term translated “hornets” (צִרְעָה, tsir’ah) is debated. Various suggestions are “discouragement” (HALOT 1056-57 s.v.; cf. NEB, TEV, CEV “panic”; NCV “terror”) and “leprosy” (J. H. Tigay, Deuteronomy [JPSTC], 360, n. 33; cf. NRSV “the pestilence”), as well as “hornet” (BDB 864 s.v.; cf. NAB, NASB, NIV, NLT). The latter seems most suitable to the verb שָׁלַח (shalakh, “send”; cf. Exod 23:28; Josh 24:12).

[7:20]  ³ tn Heb “the remnant and those who hide themselves.”

[14:22]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, indicated in the translation by the words “be certain.”

[22:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “deeds of things”; NRSV “makes up charges against her”; NIV “slanders her.”

[22:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “brings against her a bad name”; NIV “gives her a bad name.”

[22:14]  ⁷ tn Heb “drew near to her.” This is another Hebrew euphemism for having sexual relations.

[23:2]  ⁸ tn Or “a person born of an illegitimate marriage.”

[23:2]  ⁹ tn Heb “enter the assembly of the Lord.” The phrase “do so” has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[30:14]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “heart.”
