[19:12]  ² tn Heb “if Aram is stronger than me.”

[19:12]  ³ tn Heb “if the sons of Ammon are stronger than you.”

[28:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “if he is strong to do my commands and my regulations like this day.”

[12:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “and David went out before them and answered and said to them.”

[12:17]  ⁸ tn Heb “there will be to me concerning you a heart for unity.”

[12:17]  ⁹ tn Heb “with no violence in my hands.”

[12:17]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “fathers.”

[28:9]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “know.”

[28:9]  ¹¹ tn Heb “with a complete heart and a willing being.”

[28:9]  ¹² tn Heb “he will allow himself to be found by you.”

[22:13]  ¹³ tn Heb “which the Lord commanded Moses concerning Israel.”

[22:13]  ¹⁴ tn Or perhaps, “and don’t get discouraged.”

[13:2]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “If to you [it is] good and from the Lord our God.”

[13:2]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “let us spread and let us send.” The words “the word” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[13:2]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “in the cities of their pasturelands.”

[4:10]  ¹⁹ tn On the use of אִם (’im, “if”) here, see HALOT 60 s.v.

[4:10]  ²⁰ tn Heb “and act from [i.e., so as to prevent] harm so that I might not be in pain.”

[4:10]  ²¹ tn Heb “and God brought about what he had asked.”

[12:19]  ²² tn Heb “fell upon,” here in a good sense.

[12:19]  ²³ tn Heb “and they did not help them for by counsel they sent him away, the lords of the Philistines, saying, ‘With our heads he will fall to his master Saul.’”

[11:17]  ²⁵ tn Heb “Who will give me water to drink?” On the rhetorical use of מִי (mi) here, see BDB 566 s.v. f.

[17:17]  ²⁸ tn Heb “and this was small in your eyes, O God, so you spoke concerning the house of your servant for a distance.”

[17:17]  ²⁹ tn The translation “You have revealed to me what men long to know” is very tentative; the meaning of the Hebrew text is unclear. The text appears to read literally, “and you see me like the searching of man, that which is upward,” which is nonsensical. The translation above assumes the following: (1) The Qal verb translated “you see me” is repointed as a Hiphil, “you showed me,” (2) תּוֹר (tor) is understood in the sense of “searching, exploring,” and (3) הַמַּעֲלָה (hamma’alah) is taken in a temporal sense of “that which lies beyond.” Thus one could translate, “you have shown me what men search for, what lies beyond.”
