¹ tn Heb “that we should retain strength to contribute like this.”

² tn Heb “and from you we have given to you.”

⁴ tn Heb “the gold for the gold, and the silver for the silver, and the bronze for the bronze, and the iron for the iron, and the wood for the wood.”

⁵ tn Heb “he began to be a mighty warrior in the earth.”

⁷ tn Or “For” (so KJV, NASB); or “But” (so NCV).

⁸ tn The phrase “until now” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for the sake of clarity and smoothness.

⁹ tn Heb “she does not know” (so NASB, NCV); or “she does not acknowledge.”

¹⁰ tn The 1st person common singular independent personal pronoun אָנֹכִי (’anokhi, “I”) is emphatic, since the subject of this verbal clause is already explicit in the verb נָתַתִּי (natatti, Qal perfect 1st person common singular: “I gave”).
