[44:3]  ¹ tn Heb “the thirsty.” Parallelism suggests that dry ground is in view (see “dry land” in the next line.)

[44:3]  ² tn Heb “and streams”; KJV “floods.” The verb “cause…to flow” is supplied in the second line for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[61:9]  ³ tn Heb “all who see them will recognize them, that they [are] descendants [whom] the Lord has blessed.”

[65:23]  ⁴ tn Heb “and they will not give birth to horror.”

[65:23]  ⁵ tn Heb “for offspring blessed by the Lord they [will be], and their descendants along with them.”
