[1:15]  ¹ tn Heb “No.”

[1:15]  ² tn Heb “I am a woman difficult of spirit.” The LXX has “for whom the day is difficult,” apparently mistaking the Hebrew word for “spirit” רוּחַ (ruakh) to be the word for “day” יוֹם (yom).

[1:15]  ³ tn Heb “before.”

[7:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “said.”

[7:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “judged”; NAB “began to judge”; TEV “settled disputes among.”

[25:31]  ⁷ tn Heb “and this will not be for you for staggering and for stumbling of the heart of my lord.”

[25:31]  ⁸ tn Heb “and the Lord will do well for my lord.”
