[14:8]  ¹ tn Heb “proverbs.”

[16:63]  ² tn Heb “and your mouth will not be open any longer.”

[16:63]  ³ tn Heb “when I make atonement for you for all which you have done.”

[23:29]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew term means “labor,” but by extension it can also refer to that for which one works.

[23:29]  ⁵ tn Heb “The nakedness of your prostitution will be exposed, and your obscene conduct and your harlotry.”

[25:15]  ⁶ sn The Philistines inhabited the coastal plain by the Mediterranean Sea, west of Judah.

[25:15]  ⁷ tn Heb “have acted with vengeance and taken vengeance with vengeance.” The repetition emphasizes the degree of vengeance which they exhibited, presumably toward Judah.

[25:15]  ⁸ tn Heb “with scorn in (the) soul.”

[25:15]  ⁹ tn The object is not specified in the Hebrew text, but has been clarified as “Judah” in the translation.

[25:15]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “to destroy (with) perpetual hostility.” Joel 3:4-8 also speaks of the Philistines taking advantage of the fall of Judah.

[27:9]  ¹¹ sn Another Phoenician coastal city located between Sidon and Arvad.

[27:9]  ¹² tn Heb “strengthening damages.” Here “to strengthen” means to repair. The word for “damages” occurs several times in 1 Kgs 12 about some type of damage to the temple, which may have referred to or included cracks. Since the context describes Tyre in its glory, we do not expect this reference to damages to be of significant scale, even if there are repairmen. This may refer to using pitch to seal the seams of the ship, which had to be done periodically and could be considered routine maintenance rather than repair of damage.

[27:9]  ¹³ sn The reference to “all the ships of the sea…within you” suggests that the metaphor is changing; previously Tyre had been described as a magnificent ship, but now the description shifts back to an actual city. The “ships of the sea” were within Tyre’s harbor. Verse 11 refers to “walls” and “towers” of the city.

[27:10]  ¹⁴ sn See Gen 10:22.

[34:26]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “showers of blessing.” Abundant rain, which in turn produces fruit and crops (v. 27), is a covenantal blessing for obedience (Lev 26:4).
