1 Kings 8:10-11

8:10 Once the priests left the holy place, a cloud filled the Lord’s temple. 8:11 The priests could not carry out their duties ¹  because of the cloud; the Lord’s glory filled his temple. ² 

Exodus 20:11

20:11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is in them, and he rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.

Numbers 16:38

16:38 As for the censers of these men who sinned at the cost of their lives, ³  they must be made ⁴  into hammered sheets for covering the altar, because they presented them before the Lord and sanctified them. They will become a sign to the Israelites.”

Matthew 6:9

6:9 So pray this way: ⁵ 

Our Father ⁶  in heaven, may your name be honored, ⁷ 

¹ tn Heb “were not able to stand to serve.”

² tn Heb “the house of the Lord.”

³ tn The expression is “in/by/against their life.” That they sinned against their life means that they brought ruin to themselves.

⁴ tn The form is the perfect tense with vav (ו) consecutive. But there is no expressed subject for “and they shall make them,” and so it may be treated as a passive (“they shall [must] be made”).

⁵ sn Pray this way. What follows, although traditionally known as the Lord’s prayer, is really the disciples’ prayer. It represents how they are to approach God, by acknowledging his uniqueness and their need for his provision and protection.

⁶ sn God is addressed in terms of intimacy (Father). The original Semitic term here was probably Abba. The term is a little unusual in a personal prayer, especially as it lacks qualification. It is not the exact equivalent of “daddy” (as is sometimes popularly suggested), but it does suggest a close, familial relationship.

⁷ tn Grk “hallowed be your name.”
