[8:10] 1 tn Heb “And he said”; the referent (Moses) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[8:10] 2 tn “It will be” has been supplied.
[8:10] 3 tn Heb “according to your word” (so NASB).
[20:4] 4 tn A פֶּסֶל (pesel) is an image that was carved out of wood or stone. The Law was concerned with a statue that would be made for the purpose of worship, an idol to be venerated, and not any ordinary statue.
[20:4] 5 tn The word תְּמוּנָה (tÿmunah) refers to the mental pattern from which the פֶּסֶל (pesel) is constructed; it is a real or imagined resemblance. If this is to stand as a second object to the verb, then the verb itself takes a slightly different nuance here. It would convey “you shall not make an image, neither shall you conceive a form” for worship (B. Jacob, Exodus, 547). Some simply make the second word qualify the first: “you shall not make an idol in the form of…” (NIV).
[20:4] 6 tn Here the phrase “of anything” has been supplied.
[20:4] 7 tn Heb “under the earth” (so KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV).
