[2:15]  ¹ tn Heb “living.”

[8:8]  ² tn Heb “according to all the deeds which they have done.”

[12:14]  ³ tn Heb “and you listen to his voice.”

[12:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “the mouth of the Lord.” So also in v. 15.

[12:14]  ⁵ tn The words “all will be well” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[19:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “he” (also in v. 23). the referent (Saul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:7]  ⁵ tc The MT has “to all of you.” If this reading is correct, we have here an example of a prepositional phrase functioning as the equivalent of a dative of advantage, which is not impossible from a grammatical point of view. However, the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate all have “and.” A conjunction rather than a preposition should probably be read on the front of this phrase.

[22:7]  ⁶ tn Heb “officers of a thousand and officers of a hundred.”

[26:25]  ⁶ tn Heb “blessed.”

[26:25]  ⁷ tn Heb “you will certainly do and also you will certainly be able.” The infinitive absolutes placed before the finite verbal forms lend emphasis to the statement.

[28:20]  ⁷ tn Heb “also there was no strength in him.”

[28:20]  ⁸ tn Heb “food.”
