[32:16]  ¹ tc Heb “with strange (things).” The Vulgate actually supplies diis (“gods”).

[32:16]  ² tn Heb “abhorrent (things)” (cf. NRSV). A number of English versions understand this as referring to “idols” (NAB, NIV, NCV, CEV), while NLT supplies “acts.”

[2:14]  ³ tn Or “The Lord’s anger burned [or “raged”] against Israel.”

[2:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “robbers who robbed them.” (The verb שָׁסָה [shasah] appears twice in the verse.)

[2:14]  sn The expression robbers who plundered them is a derogatory reference to the enemy nations, as the next line indicates.

[2:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “sold them into the hands of.”

[2:14]  ⁶ tn The word “attacks” is supplied in the translation both for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[2:20]  ⁷ tn Or “The Lord’s anger burned [or “raged”] against Israel.”

[2:20]  ⁸ tn Heb “Because this nation.”

[2:20]  ⁹ tn Heb “my covenant which I commanded their fathers.”

[2:20]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and has not listened to my voice.” The expression “to not listen to [God’s] voice” is idiomatic here for disobeying him.

[10:7]  ¹¹ tn Or “the Lord’s anger burned [or “raged”] against Israel.”

[10:7]  ¹² tn Heb “sold them into the hands of.”

[10:2]  ¹³ tn Traditionally, “judged.”

[13:3]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “gave.”

[13:3]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “spoken.”

[13:3]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “the fat.” Reference is made to burnt wood mixed with fat. See HALOT 234 s.v. דשׁן.

[13:3]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “will be poured out.”

[22:13]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “the words of the prophets are [with] one mouth good for the king.”

[22:13]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “let your words be like the word of each of them and speak good.”

[106:29]  ²⁰ tn Heb “They made angry [him].” The pronominal suffix is omitted here, but does appear in a few medieval Hebrew mss. Perhaps it was accidentally left off, an original וַיַּכְעִיסוּהוּ (vayyakh’isuhu) being misread as וַיַּכְעִיסוּ (vayyakh’isu). In the translation the referent of the pronominal suffix (the Lord) has been specified for clarity to avoid confusion with Baal of Peor (mentioned in the previous verse).

[106:40]  ²¹ tn Heb “the anger of the Lord burned against his people.”

[106:40]  ²² tn Heb “his inheritance.”

[7:18]  ²³ tn The form for “queen” is unusual. It is pointed (מְלֶכֶת [mÿlekhet] instead of מַלְכַּת [malkat]) as though the Masoretes wanted to read the word for “work” (מְלֶאכֶת [mÿle’khet]), i.e., the “hosts of,” a word that several Hebrew mss read and an understanding the LXX reflects. The other ancient and modern versions generally, however, accept it as a biform for the word “queen.”

[7:18]  sn The Queen of Heaven is probably a reference to the goddess known as Ishtar in Mesopotamia, Anat in Canaan, Ashtoreth in Israel. She was the goddess of love and fertility. For further discussion, see G. L. Keown, P. J. Scalise, T. G. Smothers, Jeremiah 26-52 (WBC), 266-68.

[7:18]  ²⁴ tn Heb “to provoke me.” There is debate among grammarians and lexicographers about the nuance of the Hebrew particle לְמַעַן (lÿma’an). Some say it always denotes purpose, while others say it may denote either purpose or result, depending on the context. For example, BDB 775 s.v. לְמַעַן note 1 says that it always denotes purpose, never result, but that sometimes what is really a result is represented ironically as though it were a purpose. That explanation fits nicely here in the light of the context of the next verse. The translation is intended to reflect some of that ironic sarcasm.

[21:5]  ²⁵ tn Heb “with outstretched hand and with strong arm.” These are, of course, figurative of God’s power and might. He does not literally have hands and arms.

[21:5]  sn The phrases in this order are unique but a very similar phrase “by strong hand and outstretched arm” are found several times with reference to God’s mighty power unleashed against Egypt at the exodus (cf., Deut 4:34; 5:15; 26:8; Jer 32:21; Ps 136:12). Instead of being directed at Israel’s enemies it will now be directed against her.

[36:7]  ²⁶ tn Heb “will turn each one from his wicked way.”

[36:7]  ²⁷ tn Heb “For great is the anger and the wrath which the Lord has spoken against this people.” The translation uses the more active form which is more in keeping with contemporary English style.
