Keluaran 22:3

22:3 If the sun has risen on him, then there is blood guilt for him. A thief ¹  must surely make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he will be sold for his theft.

Keluaran 35:22

35:22 They came, men and women alike, ²  all who had willing hearts. They brought brooches, earrings, rings and ornaments, all kinds of gold jewelry, ³  and everyone came who waved ⁴  a wave offering of gold to the Lord.

Keluaran 35:24

35:24 Everyone making an offering of silver or bronze brought it as ⁵  an offering to the Lord, and everyone who had acacia wood ⁶  for any work of the service brought it. ⁷ 

[22:3]  ¹ tn The words “a thief” have been added for clarification. S. R. Driver (Exodus, 224) thinks that these lines are out of order, since some of them deal with killing the thief and then others with the thief making restitution, but rearranging the clauses is not a necessary way to bring clarity to the paragraph. The idea here would be that any thief caught alive would pay restitution.

[35:22]  ² tn The expression in Hebrew is “men on/after the women,” meaning men with women, to ensure that it was clear that the preceding verse did not mean only men. B. Jacob takes it further, saying that the men came after the women because the latter had taken the initiative (Exodus, 1017).

[35:22]  ³ tn Heb “all gold utensils.”

[35:22]  ⁴ tn The verb could be translated “offered,” but it is cognate with the following noun that is the wave offering. This sentence underscores the freewill nature of the offerings people made. The word “came” is supplied from v. 21 and v. 22.

[35:24]  ⁵ tn This translation takes “offering” as an adverbial accusative explaining the form or purpose of their bringing things. It could also be rendered as the direct object, but that would seem to repeat without much difference what had just been said.

[35:24]  ⁶ sn U. Cassuto notes that the expression “with whom was found” does not rule out the idea that these folks went out and cut down acacia trees (Exodus, 458). It is unlikely that they had much wood in their tents.

[35:24]  ⁷ tn Here “it” has been supplied.
