[1:10]  ¹ tn Heb “multiplied you.”

[1:10]  ² tn Or “heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[14:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “sons” (so NASB); TEV, NLT “people.”

[14:1]  ⁶ sn Do not cut yourselves or shave your forehead bald.

For other warnings against such practices see Lev 21:5; Jer 16:5.
