[6:16]  ¹ tn Heb “for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”

[9:35]  ² tn Heb “they did not find her, except for.”

[12:14]  ³ tn Heb “was given.”

[19:31]  ⁴ tn Traditionally “the Lord of hosts.”

[19:31]  ⁵ tn Heb “the zeal of the Lord.” In this context the Lord’s “zeal” refers to his intense devotion to and love for his people which prompts him to protect and restore them.

[22:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “only the silver that is given into their hand should not be reckoned with them, for in faithfulness they are acting.”
