Kisah Para Rasul 8:7

8:7 For unclean spirits, ¹⁹  crying with loud shrieks, were coming out of many who were possessed, ²⁰  and many paralyzed and lame people were healed.

[8:41]  ¹ tn Heb “your name.” In the OT the word “name” sometimes refers to one’s reputation or honor. The “name” of the Lord sometimes designates the Lord himself, being indistinguishable from the proper name.

[8:2]  ² sn The festival. This was the Feast of Tabernacles, see Lev 23:34.

[8:2]  ³ sn The month Ethanim. This would be September-October in modern reckoning.

[6:32]  ⁴ tn Heb “carved carvings of.”

[6:32]  ⁵ tn Heb “he plated [with] gold” (the precise object is not stated).

[6:32]  ⁶ tn Heb “and he hammered out the gold on the cherubs and the palm trees.”

[6:33]  ⁷ tn Heb “and so he did at the entrance of the main hall, doorposts of olive wood, from a fourth.”

[9:5]  ⁸ tc The MT reads here only “from age to age,” without the preceding words “May you be blessed, O LORD our God” which are included in the present translation. But apparently something has dropped out of the text. This phrase occurs elsewhere in the OT as a description of the Lord (see Ps 41:13; 106:48), and it seems best to understand it here in that light. The LXX adds “And Ezra said” at the beginning of v. 6 as a transition: “And Ezra said, ‘You alone are the LORD.” Without this addition (which is not included by most modern English translations) the speakers of vv. 9:5b-10:1 continue to be the Levites of v. 5a.

[9:5]  ⁹ tn Heb “the name of your glory.”

[72:19]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “[be] blessed.”

[72:19]  ¹¹ tn Or “glory.”

[72:19]  ¹² tn Heb “surely and surely” (אָמֵן וְאָמֵן [’amen vÿ’amen], i.e., “Amen and amen”). This is probably a congregational response of agreement to the immediately preceding statement about the propriety of praising God.

[83:18]  ¹³ tn After the preceding jussives (v. 17), the prefixed verbal form with prefixed vav (ו) indicates purpose (“so that they may know”) or result.

[83:18]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “that you, your name [is] the Lord, you alone.”

[83:18]  ¹⁵ tn Traditionally “the Most High.”

[55:5]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “a nation,” but the singular is collective here, as the plural verbs in the next line indicate (note that both “know” and “run” are third plural forms).

[55:5]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “a nation,” but the singular is collective here, as the plural verbs that follow indicate.

[55:5]  ¹⁸ sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.

[8:7]  ¹⁹ sn The expression unclean spirits refers to evil supernatural spirits which were ceremonially unclean, and which caused the persons possessed by them to be ceremonially unclean.

[8:7]  ²⁰ tn Grk “For [in the case of] many who had unclean spirits, they were coming out, crying in a loud voice.”
