[9:14]  1 tn Heb “leave me alone.”

[9:14]  2 tn Heb “from under heaven.”

[25:19]  3 tn Heb “ the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[25:19]  4 tn The Hebrew text includes “to possess it.”

[25:19]  5 tn Or “from beneath the sky.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[25:19]  6 sn This command is fulfilled in 1 Sam 15:1-33.

[29:20]  7 tn Heb “the wrath of the Lord and his zeal.” The expression is a hendiadys, a figure in which the second noun becomes adjectival to the first.

[29:20]  9 tn Heb “the entire oath.”

[29:20]  10 tn Or “will lie in wait against him.”

[10:7]  12 sn “Memory” (זֵכֶר, zekher) and “name” are often paired as synonyms. “Memory” in this sense has to do with reputation, fame. One’s reputation will be good or bad by righteousness or wickedness respectively.

[10:7]  13 tn Heb “name.” The term “name” often functions as a metonymy of association for reputation (BDB 1028 s.v. שֵׁם 2.b).

[10:7]  14 tn The editors of BHS suggest a reading “will be cursed” to make a better parallelism, but the reading of the MT is more striking as a metaphor.
