[7:45]  ¹ tn Grk “And.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[7:45]  ³ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[7:45]  ⁴ tn Grk “In those days.”

[13:17]  ⁵ tn Or “people of Israel.”

[13:17]  ⁶ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[13:17]  ⁸ tn Or “as resident aliens.”

[13:17]  ⁹ tn Or “land.”

[13:17]  ¹⁰ sn Here uplifted arm is a metaphor for God’s power by which he delivered the Israelites from Egypt. See Exod 6:1, 6; 32:11; Deut 3:24; 4:34; Ps 136:11-12.
