[7:13]  ¹ tn Heb “will bless the fruit of your womb” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV).

[8:7]  ² tn Or “wadis.”

[8:9]  ³ tn The Hebrew term may refer to “food” in a more general sense (cf. NASB, NCV, NLT) or “bread” in particular (cf. NAB, NIV, NRSV).

[8:9]  ⁴ sn A land whose stones are iron. Since iron deposits are few and far between in Palestine, the reference here is probably to iron ore found in mines as opposed to the meteorite iron more commonly known in that area.

[33:28]  ⁵ tn Heb “all alone.” The idea is that such vital resources as water will some day no longer need protection because God will provide security.

[33:28]  ⁶ tn Or “skies.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[33:28]  ⁷ tn Or perhaps “drizzle, showers.” See note at Deut 32:2.

[5:6]  ⁸ tn Heb “all the nation, the men of war who went out from Egypt, who did not listen to the voice of the Lord, came to an end.”

[5:6]  ⁹ tn Some Hebrew mss, as well as the Syriac version, support this reading. Most ancient witnesses read “us.”

[5:6]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “flowing with.”

[5:1]  ¹¹ tc Another textual tradition has, “while we crossed.”

[5:1]  ¹² tn Heb “their heart[s] melted and there was no longer in them breathe because of the sons of Israel.”

[5:11]  ¹³ tn The Hebrew text adds, “on this same day.” This is somewhat redundant in English and has not been translated.

[5:2]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “return, circumcise the sons of Israel a second time.” The Hebrew term שׁוּב (shuv, “return”) is used here in an adverbial sense to indicate the repetition of an action.

[2:10]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and what you did to the two Amorite kings who were beyond the Jordan, Sihon and Og, how you annihilated them.”

[65:9]  ¹⁶ tn The verb form is a Polel from שׁוּק (shuq, “be abundant”), a verb which appears only here and in Joel 2:24 and 3:13, where it is used in the Hiphil stem and means “overflow.”

[65:9]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “you greatly enrich it.”

[65:9]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “[with] a channel of God full of water.” The divine name is probably used here in a superlative sense to depict a very deep stream (“a stream fit for God,” as it were).

[65:9]  ¹⁹ tn The pronoun apparently refers to the people of the earth, mentioned in v. 8.

[65:9]  ²⁰ tn Heb “for thus [referring to the provision of rain described in the first half of the verse] you prepare it.” The third feminine singular pronominal suffix attached to the verb “prepare” refers back to the “earth,” which is a feminine noun with regard to grammatical form.

[104:15]  ²¹ tn Heb “and wine [that] makes the heart of man happy.”

[104:15]  ²² tn Heb “to make [the] face shine from oil.” The Hebrew verb צָהַל (tsahal, “to shine”) occurs only here in the OT. It appears to be an alternate form of צָהַר (tsahar), a derivative from צָהָרִים (tsaharim, “noon”).

[104:15]  ²³ tn Heb “and food [that] sustains the heart of man.”

[2:19]  ²⁴ tn Heb “answered and said.”

[2:19]  ²⁵ tn Heb “Look! I am sending grain to you.” The participle used in the Hebrew text seems to suggest imminent action.

[2:19]  ²⁶ tc One of the Qumran manuscripts (4QXXII^c) inserts “and you will eat” before “and you will be fully satisfied” (the reading of the MT, LXX).

[9:17]  ²⁷ sn This expostulation best fits the whole preceding description of God’s eschatological work on behalf of his people. His goodness is especially evident in his nurturing of the young men and women of his kingdom.
