[6:25]  ¹ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 31, 38).

[6:39]  ² tn Heb “their prayer and their requests for help.”

[6:39]  ³ tn Heb “and accomplish their justice.”

[6:21]  ³ tn Heb “listen to the requests of your servant and your people Israel which they are praying concerning this place.”

[6:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “hear and forgive.”

[6:27]  ⁴ tn The present translation understands כִּי (ki) in an emphatic or asseverative sense (“Certainly”). Other translation have “indeed” (NASB), “when” (NRSV), “so” (NEB), or leave the word untranslated (NIV).

[6:27]  ⁵ tn Heb “the good way in which they should walk.”

[6:27]  ⁶ tn Or “for an inheritance.”

[6:30]  ⁵ tn The words “their sin” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied for clarification.

[6:30]  ⁶ tn Heb “and act and give to each one according to all his ways because you know his heart.” In the Hebrew text vv. 28-30a actually contain one lengthy conditional sentence, which the translation has divided up for stylistic reasons.
