[2:3]  ¹ tn Heb “Huram.” Some medieval Hebrew mss, along with the LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate spell the name “Hiram,” agreeing with 1 Chr 14:1. “Huram” is a variant spelling referring to the same individual.

[2:3]  ³ tn The words “help me” are supplied in the translation for clarification and stylistic reasons.

[2:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “cedars.” The word “logs” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[2:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “to build for him a house to live in it.”

[20:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “the deliverance of the Lord with you.”

[20:17]  ⁷ tn Or perhaps “don’t get discouraged.”

[33:8]  ⁸ tn Heb “I will not again make the feet of Israel wander from the land which I established for their fathers.”

[34:25]  ⁹ tn Or “burned incense.”

[34:25]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “angering me with all the work of their hands.” The present translation assumes this refers to idols they have manufactured (note the preceding reference to “other gods”). However, it is possible that this is a general reference to their sinful practices, in which case one might translate, “angering me by all the things they do.”
