[7:9] 1 tn Heb “if you do not believe, you will not endure.” The verb forms are second plural; the Lord here addresses the entire Davidic family and court. (Verse 4 was addressed to the king.) There is a wordplay in the Hebrew text, designed to draw attention to the alternatives set before the king (cf. 1:20). “Believe” (תַאֳמִינוּ, ta’aminu) is a Hiphil form of the verb אָמָן (’aman); “endure” (תֵאָמֵנוּ, te’amenu) is a Niphal form of this same verb.
[9:21] 2 tn The words “fought against” are supplied in the translation both here and later in this verse for stylistic reasons.
[9:21] 3 tn Heb “in all this his anger is not turned, and still his hand is outstretched” (KJV and ASV both similar); NIV “his hand is still upraised.”
[9:21] sn See the note at 9:12.
[48:20] 4 tn Heb “to the end of the earth” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV).
