Ulangan 18:22

Yesaya 7:11

7:11 “Ask for a confirming sign from the Lord your God. You can even ask for something miraculous.” ¹⁴ 

[18:22]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord’s.” See note on the word “his” in v. 5.

[18:22]  ² tn Heb “the word,” but a predictive word is in view here. Cf. NAB “his oracle.”

[18:22]  ³ tn Heb “does not happen or come to pass.”

[18:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “the Lord has.” See note on the word “his” in v. 5.

[18:22]  ⁵ tn Heb “that is the word which the Lord has not spoken.”

[18:1]  ⁶ tn The MT places the terms “priests” and “Levites” in apposition, thus creating an epexegetical construction in which the second term qualifies the first, i.e., “Levitical priests.” This is a way of asserting their legitimacy as true priests. The Syriac renders “to the priest and to the Levite,” making a distinction between the two, but one that is out of place here.

[18:1]  ⁷ sn Of his inheritance. This is a figurative way of speaking of the produce of the land the Lord will give to his people. It is the Lord’s inheritance, but the Levites are allowed to eat it since they themselves have no inheritance among the other tribes of Israel.

[2:34]  ⁸ tn Heb “and this to you [is] the sign which will come to both of your sons.”

[10:9]  ⁹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Saul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:9]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “turned his shoulder.”

[10:9]  ¹¹ tn Heb “God turned for him another heart”; NAB, NRSV “gave him another heart”; NIV, NCV “changed Saul’s heart”; TEV “gave Saul a new nature”; CEV “made Saul feel like a different person.”

[10:2]  ¹² sn In the Hebrew text the pronoun you is plural, suggesting that Saul’s father was concerned about his son and the servant who accompanied him.

[20:9]  ¹³ tn Heb “all which you sent to your servant in the beginning I will do, but this thing I am unable to do.”

[7:11]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “Make it as deep as Sheol or make it high upwards.” These words suggest that Ahaz can feel free to go beyond the bounds of ordinary human experience.
