[7:44]  ³ tn Heb “underneath ‘The Sea.’”

[4:25]  ⁹ tn Heb “Judah and Israel lived securely, each one under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan to Beer Sheba, all the days of Solomon.”

[5:1]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “his servants.”

[5:3]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “a house for the name of the Lord.” The word “name” sometimes refers to one’s reputation or honor. The “name” of the Lord sometimes designates the Lord himself, being indistinguishable from the proper name.

[5:3]  ²⁰ tn Heb “because of the battles which surrounded him until the Lord placed them under the soles of his feet.”

[8:20]  ²¹ tn Heb “his word that he spoke.”
