[17:27]  ¹ tn Heb “house.”

[17:27]  ² tn Heb “for you, O Lord, have blessed and [it is] blessed permanently.”

[16:15]  ³ tn The Hebrew text has a masculine plural imperative, addressed to the people. Some LXX mss harmonize the wording here to Ps 105:8, which has זָכַר (zakhar), the perfect third masculine singular form of the verb, “He (the Lord) remembers” (so NIV; NEB reads “He called to mind his covenant”).

[16:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “[the] word he commanded.” The text refers here to God’s unconditional covenantal promise to Abraham and the patriarchs, as vv. 16-18 make clear.

[16:34]  ⁵ tn Or “is eternal.”
