[29:11]  ¹ tn The words “and sovereign” are added in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.

[29:11]  ² tn Heb “head.”

[29:12]  ³ tn Heb “wealth and honor [are] from before you.”

[29:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “and in your hand [is] strength and might and in your hand to magnify and to give strength to all.”

[29:25]  ⁵ tn Heb “and gave to him glory of kingship which there was not concerning every king before him over Israel.”

[21:5]  ⁶ tn Or “great glory.”

[21:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “majesty and splendor you place upon him.” For other uses of the phrase הוֹד וְהָדָר (hod vÿhadar, “majesty and splendor”) see 1 Chr 16:27; Job 40:10; Pss 96:6; 104:1; 111:3.

[45:3]  ⁸ tn Or “mighty one.”

[45:3]  ⁹ tn The Hebrew text has simply, “your majesty and your splendor,” which probably refers to the king’s majestic splendor when he appears in full royal battle regalia.

[93:1]  ¹⁰ sn Psalm 93. The psalmist affirms that the Lord is the king of the universe who preserves order and suppresses the destructive forces in the world.

[93:1]  ¹¹ sn Strength is compared here to a belt that one wears for support. The Lord’s power undergirds his rule.

[4:36]  ¹² tc The translation reads הַדְרֵת (hadret, “I returned”) rather than the MT הַדְרִי (hadri, “my honor”); cf. Theodotion.

[4:36]  ¹³ tc The translation reads הָתְקְנֵת (hotqÿnet, “I was established”) rather than the MT הָתְקְנַת (hotqÿnat, “it was established”). As it stands, the MT makes no sense here.

[5:18]  ¹⁴ tn Or “royal greatness and majestic honor,” if the four terms are understood as a double hendiadys.

[5:2]  ¹⁵ tn Or perhaps, “when he had tasted” (cf. NASB) in the sense of officially initiating the commencement of the banquet. The translation above seems preferable, however, given the clear evidence of inebriation in the context (cf. also CEV “he got drunk and ordered”).

[5:2]  ¹⁶ tn Or “ancestor”; or “predecessor” (also in vv. 11, 13, 18). The Aramaic word translated “father” can on occasion denote these other relationships.

[5:2]  ¹⁷ tn Or “taken.”

[1:16]  ²¹ tn The words “from their diet” are not in the Hebrew text but have been added in the translation for clarity.
