[6:10]  ¹ tn Heb “not in vain did I speak to do to them this catastrophe.” The wording of the last half of v. 10 parallels God’s declaration after the sin of the golden calf (Exod 32:14).

[7:14]  ² tn The Hebrew word refers to the din or noise made by a crowd, and by extension may refer to the crowd itself.

[16:38]  ³ tn Heb “and I will judge you (with) the judgments of adulteresses and of those who shed blood.”

[16:38]  ⁴ tn Heb “and I will give you the blood of rage and zeal.”

[16:60]  ⁵ tn Or “eternal.”

[20:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “will you judge.” Here the imperfect form of the verb is probably used with a desiderative nuance. Addressed to the prophet, “judge” means to warn of or pronounce God’s impending judgment.

[20:11]  ⁷ sn The laws were given at Mount Sinai.

[20:11]  ⁸ tn Heb “the man.”

[20:11]  ⁹ tn Heb “does.”

[20:11]  ¹⁰ tn The wording and the concept is contained in Lev 18:5 and Deut 30:15-19.

[20:37]  ¹¹ tn This is the same Hebrew verb used to describe the passing of the children through the fire.

[20:37]  ¹² sn The metaphor may be based in Lev 27:32 (see also Jer 33:13; Matt 25:32-33). A shepherd would count his sheep as they passed beneath his staff.

[21:13]  ¹³ tn Heb “For testing (will come) and what if also a scepter, it despises, will not be?” The translation understands the subject of the verb “despises,” which is a feminine form in the Hebrew text, to be the sword (which is a feminine noun) mentioned in the previous verses. The text is very difficult and any rendering is uncertain.

[22:13]  ¹⁴ sn This gesture apparently expresses mourning and/or anger (see 6:11; 21:14, 17).

[22:13]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “the blood which was in you.”

[23:7]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “lusted after.”

[23:18]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “She exposed her harlotry and she exposed her nakedness.”

[23:18]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “my soul.”

[23:18]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “my soul.”

[23:36]  ²⁰ tn Heb “will you judge.” Here the imperfect form of the verb is probably used with a desiderative nuance. Addressed to the prophet, “judge” means to warn of or pronounce God’s impending judgment. See 20:4; 22:2.

[23:38]  ²¹ tn Heb “in that day.”

[23:44]  ²² tn Heb “and they came to her.”

[24:26]  ²³ tn Heb “to make the ears hear.”

[40:45]  ²⁴ tn Heb “the house.”

[43:26]  ²⁵ tn Heb “fill its hands.”

[44:6]  ²⁶ tc The LXX reads “house of rebellion.”
