33:3 Surely he loves the people; ¹⁶ 

all your holy ones ¹⁷  are in your power. ¹⁸ 

And they sit ¹⁹  at your feet,

[21:10]  ¹ tn Heb “gives him into your hands.”

[22:28]  ² tn Heb “lies with.”

[19:6]  ³ tn Heb “and overtake him, for the road is long.”

[19:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “smite with respect to life,” that is, fatally.

[19:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “no judgment of death.”

[32:11]  ⁶ tn The prefixed verbal form is an imperfect, indicating habitual or typical behavior. The parallel verb (cf. “hovers” in the next line) is used in the same manner.

[32:11]  ⁷ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[32:11]  ⁸ tn The form of the suffix on this and the following verb forms (cf. “lifted him up”) indicates that the verbs are preterites, not imperfects. As such they simply state the action factually. The use of the preterite here suggests that the preceding verb (cf. “spread out”) is preterite as well.

[22:22]  ⁹ tn Heb “lying with” (so KJV, NASB), a Hebrew idiom for sexual relations.

[22:22]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “a woman married to a husband.”

[22:22]  ¹¹ tn Heb “burn.” See note on the phrase “purge out” in Deut 21:21.

[22:23]  ¹² tn Heb “finds.”

[22:23]  ¹³ tn Heb “lies with.”

[25:11]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “a man and his brother.”

[25:11]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “shameful parts.” Besides the inherent indelicacy of what she has done, the woman has also threatened the progenitive capacity of the injured man. The level of specificity given this term in modern translations varies: “private parts” (NAB, NIV, CEV); “genitals” (NASB, NRSV, TEV); “sex organs” (NCV); “testicles” (NLT).

[33:3]  ¹⁶ tc Heb “peoples.” The apparent plural form is probably a misunderstood singular (perhaps with a pronominal suffix) with enclitic mem (ם). See HALOT 838 s.v. עַם B.2.

[33:3]  ¹⁷ tc Heb “his holy ones.” The third person masculine singular suffix of the Hebrew MT is problematic in light of the second person masculine singular suffix on בְּיָדֶךָ (bÿyadekha, “your hands”). The LXX versions by Lucian and Origen read, therefore, “the holy ones.” The LXX version by Theodotion and the Vulgate, however, presuppose third masculine singular suffix on בְּיָדָיו (bÿyadayv, “his hands”), and thus retain “his holy ones.” The efforts to bring pronominal harmony into the line is commendable but unnecessary given the Hebrew tendency to be untroubled by such grammatical inconsistencies. However, the translation harmonizes the first pronoun with the second so that the referent (the Lord) is clear.

[33:3]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “hands.” For the problem of the pronoun see note on the term “holy ones” earlier in this verse.

[33:3]  ¹⁹ tn The Hebrew term תֻּכּוּ (tuku, probably Pual perfect of תָּכָה, takhah) is otherwise unknown. The present translation is based on the reference to feet and, apparently, receiving instruction in God’s words (cf. KJV, ASV). Other options are as follows: NIV “At your feet they all bow down” (cf. NCV, CEV); NLT “They follow in your steps” (cf. NAB, NASB); NRSV “they marched at your heels.”

[33:3]  ²⁰ tn The singular verbal form in the Hebrew text (lit. “he lifts up”) is understood in a distributive manner, focusing on the action of each individual within the group.
