[2:37]  ¹ tn Heb “your blood will be upon your head.”

[2:42]  ² tn Heb “sent and summoned.”

[2:42]  ³ tn Heb “Is it not [true]…?” In the Hebrew text the statement is interrogative; the rhetorical question expects the answer, “Of course it is.”

[2:42]  ⁴ tn Heb “here or there.”

[2:42]  ⁵ tn Heb “good is the word; I have heard.”

[8:39]  ³ tn The words “their sin” are added for clarification.

[8:39]  ⁴ tn Heb “and act and give to each one according to all his ways because you know his heart.” In the Hebrew text vv. 37-39a actually contain one lengthy conditional sentence, which the translation has divided up for stylistic reasons.

[8:39]  ⁵ tn Heb “Indeed you know, you alone, the heart of all the sons of mankind.”
