Kisah Para Rasul 15:5

15:5 But some from the religious party of the Pharisees ⁸  who had believed stood up and said, “It is necessary ⁹  to circumcise the Gentiles ¹⁰  and to order them to observe ¹¹  the law of Moses.”

[16:34]  ¹ sn The “Testimony” is a reference to the Ark of the Covenant; so the pot of manna would be placed before Yahweh in the tabernacle. W. C. Kaiser says that this later instruction came from a time after the tabernacle had been built (see Exod 25:10-22; W. C. Kaiser, Jr., “Exodus,” EBC 2:405). This is not a problem since the final part of this chapter had to have been included at the end of the forty years in the desert.

[16:34]  ² tn “for keeping.”

[7:44]  ³ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[7:44]  ⁴ tn Or “tent.”

[7:44]  ⁵ tn Or “desert.”

[7:44]  ⁶ tn Grk “the one”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:44]  ⁷ tn The word “him” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context, but must be supplied for the modern English reader.

[15:5]  ⁸ sn See the note on Pharisee in 5:34.

[15:5]  ⁹ sn The Greek word used here (δεῖ, dei) is a strong term that expresses divine necessity. The claim is that God commanded the circumcision of Gentiles.

[15:5]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “them”; the referent (the Gentiles) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[15:5]  ¹¹ tn Or “keep.”
