[4:21]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 4:3.

[4:21]  ² tn The Hebrew text includes “(as) an inheritance,” or “(as) a possession.”

[4:22]  ³ tn Heb “this.” The translation uses “that” to avoid confusion; earlier in the verse Moses refers to Transjordan as “this land.”

[31:14]  ⁴ tc The LXX reads “by the door of the tent” in line with v. 10 but also, perhaps, as a reflection of its tendency to avoid over-familiarity with Yahweh and his transcendence.

[31:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “tent of assembly” (מוֹעֵד אֹהֶל, ’ohel mo’ed); this is not always the same as the tabernacle, which is usually called מִשְׁכָּן (mishkan, “dwelling-place”), a reference to its being invested with God’s presence. The “tent of meeting” was erected earlier than the tabernacle and was the place where Yahweh occasionally appeared, especially to Moses (cf. Exod 18:7-16; 33:7-11; Num 11:16, 24, 26; 12:4).

[31:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “I will command him.”

[23:14]  ⁷ tn Heb “go the way of all the earth.”

[23:14]  ⁸ tn Or “soul.”

[23:14]  ⁹ tn Heb “one word from all these words which the Lord your God spoke to you has not fallen, the whole has come to pass for you, one word from it has not fallen.”

[23:1]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “many days.”

[23:1]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the Lord had given rest to Israel from their enemies all around.”

[23:1]  ¹² tn Heb “was old, coming into the days.” This expression, referring to advancing in years, also occurs in the following verse.

[2:2]  ¹³ tn Or “look.”

[2:2]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “men have come here tonight from the sons of Israel.”

[2:3]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying.”

[2:3]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “bring out.”

[2:3]  ¹⁷ tn The idiom “come to” (בוֹא אֶל, bo’ ’el) probably has sexual connotations here, as it often does elsewhere when a man “comes to” a woman. If so, the phrase could be translated “your clients.” The instructions reflect Rahab’s perspective as to the identity of the men.

[2:3]  ¹⁸ tn The words “the ones who came to your house” (Heb “who came to your house”) may be a euphemistic scribal addition designed to blur the sexual connotation of the preceding words.

[20:25]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “And now, behold.” Here ἰδού (idou) has not been translated.

[20:25]  ²⁰ tn Grk “all of you…will not see.” Greek handles its negation somewhat differently from English, and the translation follows English grammatical conventions.

[20:25]  ²¹ sn Note how Paul’s usage of the expression proclaiming the kingdom is associated with (and intertwined with) his testifying to the good news of God’s grace in v. 24. For Paul the two concepts were interrelated.

[20:25]  ²² tn Grk “will see my face” (an idiom for seeing someone in person).

[20:2]  ²³ tn BDAG 633 s.v. μέρος 1.b.γ gives the meanings “the parts (of a geographical area), region, district,” but the use of “district” in this context probably implies too much specificity.

[20:2]  ²⁴ tn Grk “and encouraging them with many words.” The participle παρακαλέσας (parakalesa", “encouraging”) has been translated by the phrase “spoken…words of encouragement” because the formal equivalent is awkward in contemporary English.

[20:2]  ²⁵ tn Grk “[to] them”; the referent (the believers there) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:2]  ²⁶ tn In popular usage the term translated “Greece” here could also refer to the Roman province officially known as Achaia (BDAG 318 s.v. ῾Ελλάς).

[4:6]  ²⁷ sn The high priest’s family. This family controlled the high priesthood as far back as a.d. 6. Annas, Caiaphas, and Alexander were all high priests at one time (though Alexander held that office after this event).
