[6:36]  ¹ tn Heb “they”; the referent (God’s people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:22]  ² tn Heb “and if the man who sins against his neighbor when one takes up against him a curse to curse him and the curse comes before your altar in this house.”

[6:24]  ³ tn Or “are struck down before an enemy.”

[6:24]  ⁴ tn Heb “confess [or perhaps, “praise”] your name.”

[6:24]  ⁵ tn Heb “and they pray and ask for help.”

[6:37]  ⁴ tn Heb “they”; the referent (God’s people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:37]  ⁵ tn Or “stop and reflect”; Heb “bring back to their heart.”

[6:37]  ⁶ tn Or “done wrong.”

[6:39]  ⁵ tn Heb “their prayer and their requests for help.”

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

[29:24]  ⁶ tn Heb “said.”

[6:26]  ⁷ tn Heb “when.” In the Hebrew text vv. 26-27a actually contain one lengthy conditional sentence, which the translation has divided into two sentences for stylistic reasons.

[6:26]  ⁸ tn Or “heavens” (also in v. 12). The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[6:26]  ⁹ tn Heb “they.”

[6:26]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “confess [or perhaps, “praise”] your name.”

[6:26]  ¹¹ tn The Hebrew text reads “because you answer them,” as if the verb is from עָנָה (’anah, “answer”). However, this reference to a divine answer is premature, since the next verse asks for God to intervene in mercy. It is better to revocalize the consonantal text as תְעַנֵּם (tÿ’annem, “you afflict them”), a Piel verb form from the homonym עָנָה (“afflict”).
