1 Kings 8:37

8:37 “The time will come when the land suffers from a famine, a plague, blight and disease, or a locust ¹  invasion, or when their enemy lays siege to the cities of the land, ²  or when some other type of plague or epidemic occurs.

we are terrified by your wrath.

90:8 You are aware of our sins; ⁴

90:9 Yes, ⁶  throughout all our days we experience your raging fury; ⁷ 

the years of our lives pass quickly, like a sigh. ⁸

5:14 Is anyone among you ill? He should summon the elders of the church, and they should pray for him and anoint ¹⁵  him with oil in the name of the Lord. 5:15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick and the Lord will raise him up – and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. ¹⁶ 

[8:37]  ¹ tn Actually two Hebrew terms appear here, both of which are usually taken as referring to locusts. Perhaps different stages of growth or different varieties are in view.

[8:37]  ² tn Heb “in the land, his gates.”

[90:7]  ³ tn Or “for.”

[90:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “you set our sins in front of you.”

[90:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “what we have hidden to the light of your face.” God’s face is compared to a light or lamp that exposes the darkness around it.

[90:9]  ⁶ tn Or “for.”

[90:9]  ⁷ tn Heb “all our days pass by in your anger.”

[90:9]  ⁸ tn Heb “we finish our years like a sigh.” In Ezek 2:10 the word הֶגֶה (hegeh) elsewhere refers to a grumbling or moaning sound. Here a brief sigh or moan is probably in view. If so, the simile pictures one’s lifetime as transient. Another option is that the simile alludes to the weakness that characteristically overtakes a person at the end of one’s lifetime. In this case the phrase could be translated, “we end our lives with a painful moan.”

[5:29]  ⁹ tn Grk “the flow of her blood dried up.”

[5:34]  ¹⁰ tn Or “has delivered you”; Grk “has saved you.” This should not be understood as an expression for full salvation in the immediate context; it refers only to the woman’s healing.

[5:1]  ¹¹ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate a summary and transition in the narrative.

[5:1]  ¹² tc The textual tradition here is quite complicated. Most later mss (A C ˹³ Ï sy^p,h) read “Gadarenes,” which is the better reading in Matt 8:28. Other mss (א² L Δ Θ Ë¹ 28 33 565 579 700 892 1241 1424 al sy^s bo) have “Gergesenes.” Others (א* B D latt sa) have “Gerasenes,” which is the reading followed in the translation here and in Luke 8:26. The difference between Matthew and Mark (which is parallel to Luke) may well have to do with uses of variant regional terms.

[1:1]  ¹³ tn Grk “Paul.” The word “from” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to indicate the sender of the letter.

[12:6]  ¹⁴ sn A quotation from Prov 3:11-12.

[5:14]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “anointing.”

[5:15]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “it will be forgiven him.”
