[3:13]  ¹ tn The words “when you come to see my face,” though found in the Hebrew text, are somewhat redundant given the similar expression in the earlier part of the verse. The words are absent from the Syriac Peshitta.

[6:20]  ⁶ tn Heb “one of the foolish ones.”

[17:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “come to.”

[21:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “until water was poured on them from the sky.”
