[7:23]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Ephraim) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:23]  ² tn Heb “because in tragedy there had come to his house.” The preposition prefixed to רָעָה (ra’ah) should probably be omitted. The Hebrew noun רָעָה (“tragedy”) should be understood as the subject of the feminine verb form that follows.

[8:38]  ¹ tc The Hebrew text has בֹּכְרוּ (bokhÿru), which some understand as a name: “Bocheru” (so, e.g., NEB, NASB, NIV, NRSV). But the form should probably be revocalized בְּכֹרוֹ (bÿkhoru, “his firstborn”). A name has accidentally dropped from the list, and a scribe apparently read בֹּכְרוּ as one of the names.

[8:38]  ² tc The Lucianic recension of the LXX inserts another name here, καὶ Ἀζαριας (kai Azarias, “and Azariah”), presumably to make up the six sons mentioned at the beginning of the verse (see the previous tc note on “firstborn”). Cf. NAB.

[9:44]  ¹ tc The Hebrew text has בֹּכְרוּ (bokhÿru), which some understand as a name: “Bocheru” (so, e.g., NEB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). But the form should probably be revocalized בְֹּכרוֹ (bÿkhoro, “his firstborn”). A name has accidentally dropped from the list, and a scribe apparently read בֹּכְרוּ as one of the names. Cf. also 1 Chr 8:38.

[11:20]  ¹ tc The Syriac reads “thirty” here and at the beginning of v. 21; this reading is followed by some English translations (cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV, NLT).

[11:20]  ² tn Heb “he was wielding his spear against three hundred, [who were] slain.”

[11:20]  ³ tn Heb “and to him [reading with the Qere] there was a name among the three.”

[12:30]  ¹ tn Heb “men of names for the house of their fathers.”

[16:35]  ¹ tn The words “this prayer” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[16:35]  ² tn Heb “to give thanks.” The infinitive construct indicates result after the imperative.

[16:35]  ³ tn Heb “to boast in your praise.”

[16:41]  ¹ tn Perhaps this refers to the refrain of their songs of praise (see Ps 136). In this case one could translate, “to give thanks to the Lord with songs using the refrain, ‘For his loyal love endures.’”

[17:24]  ¹ tn Following the imperative in v. 23b, the prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result: “so it might become a reality.”

[17:24]  ² tn Heb “so it might be established.”

[17:24]  ³ tn Heb “and your name might be great permanently.” Following the imperative in v. 23b, the prefixed verbal form with vav conjunctive indicates purpose/result (parallel to the previous purpose/result clause): “[so]…you might gain lasting fame.”

[17:24]  ⁴ tn Heb “saying.” The words “as people” are supplied in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.

[17:24]  ⁵ tc Heb “the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts], the God of Israel, Israel’s God.” The phrases אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל (’elohey yisra’el, “God of Israel”) and אֱלֹהִים לְיִשְׂרָאֵל (’elohim lÿyisra’el, “Israel’s God”) are probably alternative readings that have been conflated in the text.

[17:24]  ⁶ tn Heb “the house of David.”

[22:7]  ¹ tn Heb “I was with my heart.”

[22:7]  ² tn Heb “for the name of.”

[22:10]  ¹ tn Heb “for my name.”

[22:10]  ² tn Heb “and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel permanently.”

[28:3]  ¹ tn Heb “for my name.”
