¹ tn Heb “in the way in the way” (בַּדֶּרֶךְ בַּדֶּרֶךְ, baderekh baderekh). The repetition lays great stress on the idea of resolute determination to stick to the path. IBHS 116 §7.2.3c.

² tn Heb “your brothers,” but not limited only to actual siblings; cf. NASB “your (+ own NAB) countrymen.”

³ tn Heb “who are in your land in your gates.” The word “living” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

³ tn Heb “one of your brothers” (so NASB); NAB “one of your kinsmen”; NRSV “a member of your community.” See the note at v. 2.

⁴ tn Heb “gates.”

⁵ tn Heb “withdraw your hand.” Cf. NIV “hardhearted or tightfisted” (NRSV and NLT similar).

⁶ tn Heb “from your needy brother.”

⁴ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “make sure.”

⁵ tn Heb “your brother.”
