[4:2]  ¹ tn Or “a barricade.”

[4:2]  ² tn Heb “set camps against it.”

[4:5]  ³ tn Heb “I have assigned for you that the years of their iniquity be the number of days.” Num 14:33-34 is an example of the reverse, where the days were converted into years, the number of days spying out the land becoming the number of years of the wilderness wanderings.

[4:5]  ⁴ tc The LXX reads “190 days.”

[4:5]  sn The significance of the number 390 is not clear. The best explanation is that “days” are used figuratively for years and the number refers to the years of the sinfulness of Israel during the period of the First Temple. Some understand the number to refer to the length of the division of the northern and southern kingdoms down to the fall of Jerusalem (931-586 b.c.), but this adds up to only 345 years.

[4:5]  ⁵ tn Or “When you have carried the iniquity of the house of Israel,” and continuing on to the next verse.

[7:11]  ⁶ tn Heb “the violence.”

[7:11]  ⁷ tc The LXX reads “he will crush the wicked rod without confusion or haste.”

[7:11]  tn The verb has been supplied for the Hebrew text to clarify the sense.

[7:11]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT.

[16:25]  ⁹ tn Heb “treated as if abominable,” i.e., repudiated.

[16:25]  ¹⁰ tn The only other occurrence of the Hebrew root is found in Prov 13:3 in reference to the talkative person who habitually “opens wide” his lips.

[16:60]  ¹¹ tn Or “eternal.”

[20:24]  ¹² 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]  ¹³ tn Or “they worshiped” (NCV, TEV, CEV); Heb “their eyes were on” or “were after” (cf. v. 16).

[35:5]  ¹⁴ tn Or “gave over…to the power of the sword.” This phrase also occurs in Jer 18:21 and Ps 63:10.

[40:10]  ¹⁵ sn The three alcoves are parallel to the city gates found at Megiddo, Hazor, and Gezer.

[40:12]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “one cubit” (i.e., 52.5 cm).
