1 Tawarikh 29:18

29:18 O Lord God of our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, maintain the motives of your people and keep them devoted to you. ⁸ 

[17:10]  ¹ tn Here the word “house” is used in a metaphorical sense, referring to a royal dynasty. The Lord’s use of the word here plays off the literal sense that David had in mind as he contemplated building a temple (“house”) for the Lord. In the translation the adjective “dynastic” is supplied to indicate that the term is used metaphorically.

[22:18]  ² tn The words “he told them” are added in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[22:18]  ³ tn In the Hebrew text the statement is phrased as a rhetorical question, “Is not the Lord your God with you?” The question anticipates the response, “Of course he is!” Thus in the translation the positive statement “The Lord your God is with you!” has been used.

[22:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “and he gives rest to you all around.”

[22:18]  ⁵ tn Or “earth.”

[22:18]  ⁶ tn Or “earth.”
