22:18 He told them, ⁷  “The Lord your God is with you! ⁸  He has made you secure on every side, ⁹  for he handed over to me the inhabitants of the region ¹⁰  and the region ¹¹  is subdued before the Lord and his people.

[11:4]  ¹ tn Heb “all Israel.”

[11:4]  ² sn Jebus was an older name for the city of Jerusalem (cf. Josh 15:8; Judg 1:21).

[11:4]  ³ tn Heb “and there [were] the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land.”

[2:55]  ⁴ tn Or perhaps “the Sopherim.” The NAB transliterates this term and treats it as a proper name.

[2:55]  ⁵ tn Heb “came.”

[2:55]  ⁶ tn Or (if בֵּית [beth] is translated as “house” rather than considered to be part of the name) “the father of the house [i.e., family] of Rechab.”

[22:18]  ⁷ tn The words “he told them” are added in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[22:18]  ⁸ tn In the Hebrew text the statement is phrased as a rhetorical question, “Is not the Lord your God with you?” The question anticipates the response, “Of course he is!” Thus in the translation the positive statement “The Lord your God is with you!” has been used.

[22:18]  ⁹ tn Heb “and he gives rest to you all around.”

[22:18]  ¹⁰ tn Or “earth.”

[22:18]  ¹¹ tn Or “earth.”
