[12:6]  ¹ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 7, 8).

[103:6]  ² tn Heb “the Lord does fairness, and [acts of] justice for all the oppressed.”

[103:7]  ³ tn Heb “made known his ways.” God’s “ways” in this context are his protective and salvific acts in fulfillment of his promise (see also Deut 32:4; Pss 18:30; 67:2; 77:13 [note vv. 11-12, 14]; 138:5; 145:17).

[63:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “and he remembered the days of antiquity, Moses, his people.” The syntax of the statement is unclear. The translation assumes that “his people” is the subject of the verb “remembered.” If original, “Moses” is in apposition to “the days of antiquity,” more precisely identifying the time period referred to. However, the syntactical awkwardness suggests that “Moses” may have been an early marginal note (perhaps identifying “the shepherd of his flock” two lines later) that has worked its way into the text.

[63:11]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew text has a plural form, which if retained and taken as a numerical plural, would probably refer to Moses, Aaron, and the Israelite tribal leaders at the time of the Exodus. Most prefer to emend the form to the singular (רָעָה, ra’ah) and understand this as a reference just to Moses.

[63:11]  ⁶ sn See the note at v. 10.

[63:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “who caused to go at the right hand of Moses the arm of his splendor.”

[63:12]  ⁸ tn Heb “making for himself a lasting name.”

[12:13]  ⁹ tn Heb “by a prophet” (so NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[12:13]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Israel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:13]  ¹¹ tn Heb “was protected”; NASB “was kept.” The verb שָׁמַר (shamar, “to watch, guard, keep, protect”) is repeated in 12:13-14 HT (12:12-13 ET). This repetition creates parallels between Jacob’s sojourn in Aram and Israel’s sojourn in the wilderness. Jacob “tended = kept” (שָׁמַר) sheep in Aram, and Israel was “preserved = kept” (נִשְׁמָר, nishmar) by Moses in the wilderness.

[6:4]  ¹² tn Heb “before you.”

[7:34]  ¹³ tn Or “mistreatment.”

[7:34]  ¹⁴ tn Or “to set them free.”

[7:34]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “And now.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[7:34]  ¹⁶ sn A quotation from Exod 3:7-8, 10.

[7:36]  ¹⁷ tn Here the context indicates the miraculous nature of the signs mentioned.

[7:36]  ¹⁸ tn Or simply “in Egypt.” The phrase “the land of” could be omitted as unnecessary or redundant.

[7:36]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “and at,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[7:36]  ²⁰ tn Or “desert.”
