1 tn Heb “give great care to your souls.”

2 tn Or “mind and being”; cf. NCV “with your whole being”; TEV “obey them faithfully with all your heart.”

3 tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

4 tn Heb “plaster” (so KJV, ASV; likewise in v. 4). In the translation “cover” has been used for stylistic reasons.

4 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

5 tn Heb “between his shoulders.” This suggests the scene in John 13:23 with Jesus and the Beloved Disciple.
