[5:12]  ¹ tn Heb “a covenant,” referring to a formal peace treaty or alliance.

[8:31]  ² tn Heb “and forgive the man who sins against his neighbor when one takes up against him a curse to curse him and the curse comes before your altar in this house.” In the Hebrew text the words “and forgive” conclude v. 30, but the accusative sign at the beginning of v. 31 suggests the verb actually goes with what follows in v. 31. The parallel text in 2 Chr 6:22 begins with “and if,” rather than the accusative sign. In this case “forgive” must be taken with what precedes, and v. 31 must be taken as the protasis (“if” clause) of a conditional sentence, with v. 32 being the apodosis (“then” clause) that completes the sentence.

[19:18]  ³ tn Heb “I have kept in Israel seven thousand, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and all the mouths that have not kissed him.”

[20:40]  ⁴ tn Heb “so [i.e., in accordance with his testimony] is your judgment, you have determined [it].”

[22:27]  ⁵ tn Heb “the bread of affliction and the water of affliction.”

[22:27]  ⁶ tn Heb “come in peace.” So also in v. 28.

[22:31]  ⁶ tn Heb “small or great.”
