1 Chronicles 28:8

28:8 So now, in the sight of all Israel, the Lord’s assembly, and in the hearing of our God, I say this: ⁴  Carefully observe ⁵  all the commands of the Lord your God, so that you may possess this good land and may leave it as a permanent inheritance for your children after you.

[17:20]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text reads literally, “in all which we heard with our ears,” but בְּכֹל (bÿkhol, “in all”) should probably be emended to כְּכֹל (kÿkhol, “according to all”).

[17:25]  ² tn Heb “house.”

[17:25]  ³ tn Heb “That is why your servant found to pray before you.” Perhaps the phrase אֶת לִבּוֹ (’et libbo, “his heart”) should be supplied as the object of the verb “found.”

[28:8]  ³ tn The words “I say this” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[28:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “Watch! Seek!”
