[37:19] 1 tn Heb “and they put their gods in the fire.”
[37:19] 2 tn Heb “so they destroyed them” (NASB similar).
[16:20] 3 tn Heb “and they are ‘no gods.’” For the construction here compare 2:11 and a similar construction in 2 Kgs 19:18 and see BDB 519 s.v. לֹא 1.b(b).
[4:8] 4 tn Grk “those that by nature…” with the word “beings” implied. BDAG 1070 s.v. φύσις 2 sees this as referring to pagan worship: “Polytheists worship…beings that are by nature no gods at all Gal 4:8.”
