[18:21]  ¹ tn Heb “in your heart.”

[18:21]  ² tn Heb “know the word which the Lord has not spoken.” The issue here is not understanding the meaning of the message, but distinguishing a genuine prophetic word from a false one.

[32:30]  ¹ tn The words “man” and “of them” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[32:30]  ² tn Heb “sold them” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).
