[1:12]  ¹ tn See the note on “straight ahead” in v. 9.

[1:12]  ² tn Or “wind.”

[3:26]  ³ tn Heb “you will not be to them a reprover.” In Isa 29:21 and Amos 5:10 “a reprover” issued rebuke at the city gate.

[7:5]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew term often refers to moral evil (see Ezek 6:10; 14:22), but in many contexts it refers to calamity or disaster, sometimes as punishment for evil behavior.

[17:18]  ⁷ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates being aware of or taking notice of something.

[20:24]  ¹³ tn The words “I did this” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied for stylistic reasons. Verses 23-24 are one long sentence in the Hebrew text. The translation divides this sentence into two for stylistic reasons.

[20:24]  ¹⁴ tn Or “they worshiped” (NCV, TEV, CEV); Heb “their eyes were on” or “were after” (cf. v. 16).
