[15:22]  ¹ tn Heb “in your gates.”

[15:22]  ² tc The LXX adds ἐν σοί (en soi, “among you”) to make clear that the antecedent is the people and not the animals. That is, the people, whether ritually purified or not, may eat such defective animals.

[16:14]  ³ tn Heb “in your gates.”

[16:18]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew term וְשֹׁטְרִים (vÿshoterim), usually translated “officers” (KJV, NCV) or “officials” (NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT), derives from the verb שֹׁטֵר (shoter, “to write”). The noun became generic for all types of public officials. Here, however, it may be appositionally epexegetical to “judges,” thus resulting in the phrase, “judges, that is, civil officers,” etc. Whoever the שֹׁטְרִים are, their task here consists of rendering judgments and administering justice.

[16:18]  ⁵ tn Heb “gates.”

[16:18]  ⁶ tn Heb “with judgment of righteousness”; ASV, NASB “with righteous judgment.”

[18:6]  ⁷ tn Heb “according to all the desire of his soul.”

[18:6]  ⁸ tn Or “sojourning.” The verb used here refers to living temporarily in a place, not settling down.

[22:23]  ⁹ tn Heb “finds.”

[22:23]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “lies with.”

[24:14]  ¹¹ tn Heb “your brothers,” but not limited only to actual siblings; cf. NASB “your (+ own NAB) countrymen.”

[24:14]  ¹² tn Heb “who are in your land in your gates.” The word “living” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
