[23:13]  ¹ tn Heb “sit.” This expression is euphemistic.

[23:13]  ² tn Heb “with it”; the referent (the spade mentioned at the beginning of the verse) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[23:13]  ³ tn Heb “what comes from you,” a euphemism.

[3:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “your brothers, the sons of Israel.”

[9:10]  ⁵ sn The very finger of God. This is a double figure of speech (1) in which God is ascribed human features (anthropomorphism) and (2) in which a part stands for the whole (synecdoche). That is, God, as Spirit, has no literal finger nor, if he had, would he write with his finger. Rather, the sense is that God himself – not Moses in any way – was responsible for the composition of the Ten Commandments (cf. Exod 31:18; 32:16; 34:1).

[9:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “according to all the words.”

[9:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “the Lord” (likewise at the beginning of vv. 12, 13). See note on “he” in 9:3.

[15:14]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “generously.”

[22:8]  ⁹ tn Or “a parapet” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV); KJV “a battlement”; NLT “a barrier.”

[22:8]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “that you not place bloodshed in your house.”

[28:52]  ¹¹ tn Heb “gates,” also in vv. 55, 57.

[32:6]  ¹² tn Or “treat” (TEV).

[13:16]  ¹³ tn Heb “street.”

[13:16]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “mound”; NAB “a heap of ruins.” The Hebrew word תֵּל (tel) refers to this day to a ruin represented especially by a built-up mound of dirt or debris (cf. Tel Aviv, “mound of grain”).
