29:18 O Lord God of our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, maintain the motives of your people and keep them devoted to you. ⁵³ 

[2:23]  ¹ tn Or “Havvoth Jair” (NIV, NRSV). Some translations do not translate the phrase (“havvoth” = “the towns of”), but treat it as part of the place name.

[5:25]  ² tn Heb “fathers.”

[5:25]  ³ tn Heb “prostituted themselves after.”

[5:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “the peoples of the land.”

[6:54]  ⁵ tn Heb “and these were their dwelling places according to their encampments in their territory to the sons of Aaron.”

[6:54]  ⁶ tn Heb “to the clan of the Kohathites for to them was the lot.”

[7:15]  ⁷ tn Some translations treat the terms שֻׁפִּים (shuppim) and חֻפִּים (khuppim) as proper names of individuals (“Huppim” and “Shuppim”), but others consider these forms to be plurals and refer to tribal or clan names.

[7:15]  ⁸ tn Heb “and the name of the second was Zelophehad.”

[7:23]  ⁹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Ephraim) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:23]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “because in tragedy there had come to his house.” The preposition prefixed to רָעָה (ra’ah) should probably be omitted. The Hebrew noun רָעָה (“tragedy”) should be understood as the subject of the feminine verb form that follows.

[11:3]  ¹¹ tn Heb “elders.”

[11:3]  ¹² tn Or “covenant.”

[11:3]  ¹³ tn Or “They poured olive oil on David to designate him as king.”

[11:4]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “all Israel.”

[11:4]  ¹⁶ sn Jebus was an older name for the city of Jerusalem (cf. Josh 15:8; Judg 1:21).

[13:10]  ²³ tn Heb “because he stretched out his hand over the ark.”

[13:10]  ²⁴ sn The modern reader might think God seemed to overreact here, but Israel needed a vivid object lesson of God’s holiness. By loading the ark on a cart, David had violated the instructions in God’s law (Exod 25:12-14; Num 4:5-6, 15). Uzzah’s action, however innocent it may seem, betrayed a certain lack of reverence for God’s presence. God had to remind his people that his holiness could not under any circumstances be violated.
