Keluaran 16:35

16:35 Now the Israelites ate manna forty years, until they came to a land that was inhabited; they ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.

Bilangan 11:23

11:23 And the Lord said to Moses, “Is the Lord’s hand shortened? ¹  Now you will see whether my word to you will come true ²  or not!”

Yudas 1:14

1:14 Now Enoch, the seventh in descent beginning with Adam, ³  even prophesied of them, ⁴  saying, “Look! The Lord is coming ⁵  with thousands and thousands ⁶  of his holy ones,

Yudas 1:18-19

1:18 For they said to you, “In the end time there will come ⁷  scoffers, propelled by their own ungodly desires.” ⁸  1:19 These people are divisive, ⁹  worldly, ¹⁰  devoid of the Spirit. ¹¹ 

Mazmur 34:9-10

34:9 Remain loyal to ¹²  the Lord, you chosen people of his, ¹³ 

for his loyal followers ¹⁴  lack nothing!

34:10 Even young lions sometimes lack food and are hungry,

but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

Mazmur 37:3

37:3 Trust in the Lord and do what is right!

Settle in the land and maintain your integrity! ¹⁵ 

Mazmur 37:19

37:19 They will not be ashamed when hard times come; ¹⁶ 

when famine comes they will have enough to eat. ¹⁷ 

Mazmur 78:15-16

78:15 He broke open rocks in the wilderness,

and gave them enough water to fill the depths of the sea. ¹⁸ 

78:16 He caused streams to flow from the rock,

and made the water flow like rivers.

Mazmur 78:23-24

78:23 He gave a command to the clouds above,

and opened the doors in the sky.

78:24 He rained down manna for them to eat;

he gave them the grain of heaven. ¹⁹ 

Yesaya 33:16

33:16 This is the person who will live in a secure place; ²⁰ 

he will find safety in the rocky, mountain strongholds; ²¹ 

he will have food

and a constant supply of water.

Yeremia 37:21

37:21 Then King Zedekiah ordered that Jeremiah be committed to the courtyard of the guardhouse. He also ordered that a loaf of bread ²²  be given to him every day from the baker’s street until all the bread in the city was gone. So Jeremiah was kept ²³  in the courtyard of the guardhouse.

Yeremia 40:4

40:4 But now, Jeremiah, today I will set you free ²⁴  from the chains on your wrists. If you would like to come to Babylon with me, come along and I will take care of you. ²⁵  But if you prefer not to come to Babylon with me, you are not required to do so. ²⁶  You are free to go anywhere in the land you want to go. ²⁷  Go wherever you choose.” ²⁸ 

Habakuk 3:17-18

3:17 When ²⁹  the fig tree does not bud,

and there are no grapes on the vines;

when the olive trees do not produce, ³⁰ 

and the fields yield no crops; ³¹ 

when the sheep disappear ³²  from the pen,

and there are no cattle in the stalls,

3:18 I will rejoice because of ³³  the Lord;

I will be happy because of the God who delivers me!

Matius 6:31-33

6:31 So then, don’t worry saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ 6:32 For the unconverted ³⁴  pursue these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 6:33 But above all pursue his kingdom ³⁵  and righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Matius 14:19-21

14:19 Then ³⁶  he instructed the crowds to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and two fish, and looking up to heaven he gave thanks and broke the loaves. He gave them to the disciples, ³⁷  who in turn gave them to the crowds. ³⁸  14:20 They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the broken pieces left over, twelve baskets full. 14:21 Not counting women and children, there were about five thousand men who ate.

Matius 19:26

19:26 Jesus ³⁹  looked at them and replied, “This is impossible for mere humans, ⁴⁰  but for God all things are possible.”

Lukas 22:35

22:35 Then ⁴¹  Jesus ⁴²  said to them, “When I sent you out with no money bag, ⁴³  or traveler’s bag, ⁴⁴  or sandals, you didn’t lack ⁴⁵  anything, did you?” They replied, ⁴⁶  “Nothing.”

Ibrani 6:18

6:18 so that we who have found refuge in him ⁴⁷  may find strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us through two unchangeable things, since it is impossible for God to lie.

Ibrani 13:5-6

13:5 Your conduct must be free from the love of money and you must be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you and I will never abandon you.” ⁴⁸  13:6 So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, and ⁴⁹  I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” ⁵⁰ 

[11:23]  ¹ sn This anthropomorphic expression concerns the power of God. The “hand of the Lord” is idiomatic for his power, what he is able to do. The question is rhetorical; it is affirming that his hand is not shortened, i.e., that his power is not limited. Moses should have known this, and so this is a rebuke for him at this point. God had provided the manna, among all the other powerful acts they had witnessed. Meat would be no problem. But the lack of faith by the people was infectious.

[11:23]  ² tn Or “will happen” (TEV); KJV “shall come to pass unto thee.”

[1:14]  ³ tn Grk “the seventh from Adam.”

[1:14]  sn The genealogical count is inclusive, counting Adam as the first, for Enoch is really the sixth in descent from Adam (Adam, Seth, Enosh, Cainan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch). In this way, the picture of perfection/completion was retained (for the number seven is often used for perfection or completion in the Bible) starting with Adam and concluding with Enoch.

[1:14]  ⁴ tn Grk “against them.” The dative τούτοις (toutois) is a dativus incommodi (dative of disadvantage).

[1:14]  ⁵ tn Grk “has come,” a proleptic aorist.

[1:14]  ⁶ tn Grk “ten thousands.” The word μυριάς (muria"), from which the English myriad is derived, means “ten thousand.” In the plural it means “ten thousands.” This would mean, minimally, 20,000 (a multiple of ten thousand). At the same time, the term was often used in apocalyptic literature to represent simply a rather large number, without any attempt to be specific.

[1:18]  ⁷ tn Grk “be.”

[1:18]  ⁸ tn Grk “going according to their own desires of ungodliness.”

[1:18]  sn Jude cites 2 Pet 3:3, changing a few of the words among other things, cleaning up the syntax, conforming it to Hellenistic style.

[1:19]  ⁹ tn Grk “these are the ones who cause divisions.”

[1:19]  ¹⁰ tn Or “natural,” that is, living on the level of instincts, not on a spiritual level (the same word occurs in 1 Cor 2:14 as a description of nonbelievers).

[1:19]  ¹¹ tn Grk “not having [the] Spirit.”

[1:19]  sn The phrase devoid of the Spirit may well indicate Jude’s and Peter’s assessment of the spiritual status of the false teachers. Those who do not have the Spirit are clearly not saved.

[34:9]  ¹² tn Heb “fear.”

[34:9]  ¹³ tn Heb “O holy ones of his.”

[34:9]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “those who fear him.”

[37:3]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “tend integrity.” The verb רָעָה (ra’ah, “tend, shepherd”) is probably used here in the sense of “watch over, guard.” The noun אֱמוּנָה (’emunah, “faithfulness, honesty, integrity”) is understood as the direct object of the verb, though it could be taken as an adverbial accusative, “[feed] securely,” if the audience is likened to a flock of sheep.

[37:19]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “in a time of trouble.”

[37:19]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “in days of famine they will be satisfied.”

[78:15]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “and caused them to drink, like the depths, abundantly.”

[78:24]  ¹⁹ sn Manna was apparently shaped like a seed (Exod 16:31), perhaps explaining why it is here compared to grain.

[33:16]  ²⁰ tn Heb “he [in the] exalted places will live.”

[33:16]  ²¹ tn Heb “mountain strongholds, cliffs [will be] his elevated place.”

[37:21]  ²² tn Heb “And/Then King Zedekiah ordered and they committed Jeremiah to [or deposited…in] the courtyard of the guardhouse and they gave to him a loaf of bread.” The translation has been structured the way it has to avoid the ambiguous “they” which is the impersonal subject which is sometimes rendered passive in English (cf. GKC 460 §144.d). This text also has another example of the vav (ו) + infinitive absolute continuing a finite verbal form (וְנָתֹן [vÿnaton] = “and they gave”; cf. GKC 345 §113.y and see Jer 32:44; 36:23).

[37:21]  ²³ tn Heb “Stayed/Remained/ Lived.”

[40:4]  ²⁴ tn The verb here is an example of the perfect of resolve where the speaker announces his intention to do something according to IBHS 488-89 §30.5.1d. The word “Jeremiah” is supplied in the translation to avoid the possible misunderstanding that the you is still plural.

[40:4]  ²⁵ tn Or “look out for you.” See 39:12 and the translator’s note there.

[40:4]  ²⁶ tn Or “Stay here”; Heb “Forbear.” The imperative is used in a permissive sense; “you may forbear.” See GKC 324 §110.b and compare usage in Gen 50:6.

[40:4]  ²⁷ tn Heb “See all the land [or the whole land] is before you.” For this idiom see BDB 817 s.v. פָּנֶה II.4.a(f) and compare the usage in Gen 20:15; 47:6.

[40:4]  ²⁸ tn Heb “Unto the good and the right in your eyes to go, go there.”

[3:17]  ²⁹ tn Or “though.”

[3:17]  ³⁰ tn Heb “the produce of the olive disappoints.”

[3:17]  ³¹ tn Heb “food.”

[3:17]  ³² tn Or “are cut off.”

[3:18]  ³³ tn Or “in.”

[6:32]  ³⁴ tn Or “unbelievers”; Grk “Gentiles.”

[6:33]  ³⁵ tc ‡ Most mss (L W Θ 0233 Ë^1,13 33 Ï lat sy mae) read τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ (thn basileian tou qeou kai thn dikaiosunhn aujtou, “the kingdom of God and his righteousness”) here, but the words “of God” are lacking in א B pc sa bo Eus. On the one hand, there is the possibility of accidental omission on the part of these Alexandrian witnesses, but it seems unlikely that the scribe’s eye would skip over both words (especially since τοῦ θεοῦ is bracketed by first declension nouns). Intrinsically, the author generally has a genitive modifier with βασιλεία – especially θεοῦ or οὐρανῶν (ouranwn) – but this argument cuts both ways: Although he might be expected to use such an adjunct here, scribes might also be familiar with his practice and would thus naturally insert it if it were missing in their copy of Matthew. Although a decision is difficult, the omission of τοῦ θεοῦ is considered most likely to be original. NA²⁷ includes the words in brackets, indicating doubt as to their authenticity.

[6:33]  sn God’s kingdom is a major theme of Jesus. It is a realm in which Jesus rules and to which those who trust him belong.

[14:19]  ³⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then.”

[14:19]  ³⁷ tn Grk “And after instructing the crowds to recline for a meal on the grass, after taking the five loaves and the two fish, after looking up to heaven, he gave thanks, and after breaking the loaves he gave them to the disciples.” Although most of the participles are undoubtedly attendant circumstance, there are but two indicative verbs – “he gave thanks” and “he gave.” The structure of the sentence thus seems to focus on these two actions and has been translated accordingly.

[14:19]  ³⁸ tn Grk “to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds.”

[19:26]  ³⁹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[19:26]  ⁴⁰ tn The plural Greek term ἄνθρωποις (anqrwpois) is used here in a generic sense, referring to both men and women (cf. NASB 1995 update, “people”). Because of the contrast here between mere mortals and God (“impossible for men, but for God all things are possible”) the phrase “mere humans” has been used in the translation. There may also be a slight wordplay with “the Son of Man” in v. 28.

[22:35]  ⁴¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[22:35]  ⁴² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:35]  ⁴³ tn Traditionally, “purse” (likewise in v. 36).

[22:35]  ⁴⁴ tn Or possibly “beggar’s bag” (L&N 6.145).

[22:35]  ⁴⁵ sn This refers back to 9:3 and 10:3-4. The Greek construction anticipates a negative reply which is indicated in the translation by the ‘tag’ at the end, “did you?” Nothing was lacking.

[22:35]  ⁴⁶ tn Grk “said.”

[6:18]  ⁴⁷ tn Grk “have taken refuge”; the basis of that refuge is implied in the preceding verse.

[13:5]  ⁴⁸ sn A quotation from Deut 31:6, 8.

[13:6]  ⁴⁹ tc Some important mss (א* C* P 0285^vid 33 1175 1739 pc lat) lack καί (kai), but because the omission conforms to the wording of Ps 118:6 (117:6 LXX), it is suspect.

[13:6]  ⁵⁰ sn A quotation from Ps 118:6.
