NET Notes: Deu 22:4

¹ tn Heb “you must not see.” See note at 22:1.

² tn Heb “and (must not) hide yourself from them.”

³ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “be sure.”

⁴ tn Heb “help him to lift them up.” In keeping with English style the singular is used in the translation, and the referent (“the animal”) has been specified for clarity.
