[4:25] 1 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.”
[18:32] 2 tn Heb “and he built the stones into an altar in the name of the
[18:32] 3 tn A seah was a dry measure equivalent to about seven quarts.
[3:18] 4 tn Heb “and it will come about in that day.”
[3:18] 5 tn Many English translations read “new wine” or “sweet wine,” meaning unfermented wine, i.e., grape juice.
[3:18] 6 sn The language used here is a hyperbolic way of describing both a bountiful grape harvest (“the mountains will drip with juice”) and an abundance of cattle (“the hills will flow with milk”). In addition to being hyperbolic, the language is also metonymical (effect for cause).

[3:18] 9 tn Heb “valley of Shittim.” The exact location of the Valley of Acacia Trees is uncertain.

[7:14] 14 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
[7:14] 15 tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
[19:18] 16 tn The ἵνα (Jina) clause, insofar as it is related to the first imperative, has the force of an imperative.
[19:18] 17 tn The idea of eating “your fill” is evident in the context with the use of χορτάζω (cortazw) in v. 21.
[19:18] 18 tn Grk “chiliarchs”; normally a chiliarch was a military officer commanding a thousand soldiers, but here probably used of higher-ranking commanders like generals (see L&N 55.15; cf. Rev 6:15).
