¹ tn Heb “them” referring to the stones.

² tn Heb “of hewn stones.” Gesenius classifies this as an adverbial accusative – “you shall not build them (the stones of the altar) as hewn stones.” The remoter accusative is in apposition to the nearer (GKC 372 §117.kk).

³ tn The verb is a preterite with vav (ו) consecutive. It forms the apodosis in a conditional clause: “if you lift up your tool on it…you have defiled it.”

⁴ tn Heb “from it were its horns,” meaning that they were made from the same piece.

⁷ tn Heb “give” (also four additional times in vv. 6-8).

¹⁰ tn Heb “and.”
