[5:8]  1 tn Heb “darkens the day into night.”

[10:1]  2 tn Heb “the latter rain.” This expression refers to the last concentration of heavy rainfall in the spring of the year in Palestine, about March or April. Metaphorically and eschatologically (as here) the “latter rain” speaks of God’s outpouring of blessing in the end times (cf. Hos 6:3; Joel 2:21-25).

[5:18]  3 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events.
