[6:5]  ¹ tn Heb “saying.”

[6:5]  ² tn Heb “to build a house for my name to be there.” Here “name” is used by metonymy for the Lord himself, and thus the expression “to be there” refers to his taking up residence there (hence the translation, “a temple in which to live”). In this case the temple is referred to as a “house” where the Lord himself can reside.

[20:26]  ³ tn Heb “for there.”

[20:26]  ⁴ sn The name Berachah, which means “blessing” in Hebrew, is derived from the verbal root “to praise [or “to bless”],” which appears earlier in the verse.

[21:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “and Edom rebelled from under the hand of Judah until this day.”

[21:10]  ⁶ tn Or “from Jehoram’s control”; Heb “from under his hand.” The pronominal suffix may refer to Judah in general or, more specifically, to Jehoram.

[21:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “he.” This pronoun could refer to Judah, but the context focuses on Jehoram’s misdeeds. See especially v. 11.

[35:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Neco) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[35:21]  ⁸ tn Heb “What to me and to you, king of Judah?”

[35:21]  ⁹ tn Heb “Not against you, you, today, but against the house of my battle.”

[35:21]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Stop yourself from [opposing] God who is with me and let him not destroy you.”
