[7:12]  ¹ tn Heb “servants” (also in v. 13).

[8:29]  ² tn Heb “which the Syrians inflicted [on] him.”

[8:29]  ³ tn Heb “to see.”

[10:19]  ³ tn Heb “and now, all the prophets of Baal, all his servants and all his priests summon to me.”

[18:14]  ⁴ tn Or “I have done wrong.”

[18:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “Return from upon me; what you place upon me, I will carry.”

[18:14]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew term כִּכָּר (kikkar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or to a standard unit of weight, generally regarded as a talent. Since the accepted weight for a talent of metal is about 75 pounds, this would have amounted to about 22,500 pounds of silver and 2,250 pounds of gold.

[22:13]  ⁸ tn Heb “by doing all that is written concerning us.” Perhaps עָלֵינוּ (’alenu), “concerning us,” should be altered to עָלָיו (’alav), “upon it,” in which case one could translate, “by doing all that is written in it.”

[25:23]  ⁶ tn Heb “of the army.” The word “Judahite” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
