[2:16]  ¹ tn Heb “and we will cut down trees from Lebanon according to all your need.”

[2:16]  ² tn Heb “to you,” but this phrase has not been translated for stylistic reasons – it is somewhat redundant.

[2:16]  ³ tn Or “on rafts.” See the note at 1 Kgs 5:9.

[6:38]  ⁴ tn Or “soul.”

[6:38]  ⁵ tn Heb “your name.” The word “name” sometimes refers to one’s reputation or honor (thus the translation here, “your honor”).

[10:6]  ⁷ tn Heb “stood before.”

[10:6]  ⁸ tn Heb “saying.”

[10:9]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Lighten the yoke which your father placed on us.”

[12:5]  ¹³ tn Heb “also I have rejected you into the hand of Shishak.”

[13:8]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “the kingdom of the Lord by the hand of the sons of David.”

[13:8]  ¹⁷ tn Or “horde”; or “multitude.”

[19:10]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and every case which comes to you from your brothers who live in their cities.”

[19:10]  ²⁰ tn Heb “between blood pertaining to blood.”

[19:10]  ²¹ tn Heb “and anger will be upon you and your brothers; do this and you will not be guilty.”

[20:15]  ²² tn Heb “all Judah.” The words “you people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” by metonymy for the people of Judah. Unlike the previous instance in v. 13 where infants, wives, and children are mentioned separately, this reference appears to include them all.

[20:15]  ²³ tn Or perhaps “don’t get discouraged.”

[24:20]  ²⁵ tn Heb “clothed.”

[28:13]  ²⁸ tn Heb “for to the guilt of the Lord upon us you are saying to add to our sins and our guilty deeds.”

[33:3]  ³¹ tn The phrase כָל צְבָא הֲַשָּׁמַיִם (khol tsÿva’ hashamayim), traditionally translated “all the host of heaven,” refers to the heavenly lights, including stars and planets. In 1 Kgs 22:19 these heavenly bodies are pictured as members of the Lord’s royal court or assembly, but many other texts view them as the illegitimate objects of pagan and Israelite worship.

[33:3]  ³² tn Or “served.”
