[47:9]  ¹ tc The words “along with” do not appear in the MT. However, the LXX has “with,” suggesting that the original text may have read עִם עַם (’im ’am, “along with the people”). In this case the MT is haplographic (the consonantal sequence ayin-mem [עם] being written once instead of twice). Another option is that the LXX is simply and correctly interpreting “people” as an adverbial accusative and supplying the appropriate preposition.

[47:9]  ² tn Heb “for to God [belong] the shields of the earth.” Perhaps the rulers are called “shields” because they are responsible for protecting their people. See Ps 84:9, where the Davidic king is called “our shield,” and perhaps also Hos 4:18.

[47:9]  ³ tn The verb עָלָה (’alah, “ascend”) appears once more (see v. 5), though now in the Niphal stem.

[1:21]  ⁴ tn Grk “you will call his name.”

[1:21]  ⁵ sn The Greek form of the name Ihsous, which was translated into Latin as Jesus, is the same as the Hebrew Yeshua (Joshua), which means “Yahweh saves” (Yahweh is typically rendered as “Lord” in the OT). It was a fairly common name among Jews in 1st century Palestine, as references to a number of people by this name in the LXX and Josephus indicate.

[2:14]  ⁶ tn Grk “who” (as a continuation of the previous clause).

[2:14]  ⁷ tn Or “a people who are his very own.”

[2:14]  ⁸ tn Grk “for good works.”

[2:1]  ⁹ tn Grk “say what is fitting for sound teaching” (introducing the behavior called for in this chapter.).

[2:10]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “all which my eyes asked for, I did not withhold from them.”

[2:10]  ¹¹ tn Heb “I did not refuse my heart any pleasure.” The term לִבִּי (libbi, “my heart”) is a synecdoche of part (i.e., heart) for the whole (i.e., whole person); see E. W. Bullinger, Figures of Speech, 648. The term is repeated twice in 2:10 for emphasis.

[2:10]  ¹² tn Heb “So my heart was joyful from all my toil.”

[2:10]  ¹³ tn Heb “and this was my portion from all my toil.”
