[33:17]  ¹ tn The verb in this place is a preterite with the vav (ו) consecutive, judging from the pointing. It then follows in sequence the verb “you have found favor,” meaning you stand in that favor, and so it means “I have known you” and still do (equal to the present perfect). The emphasis, however, is on the results of the action, and so “I know you.”

[99:6]  ² tn Heb “among those who called on his name.”

[99:6]  ³ tn Heb “those who.” The participle is in apposition to the phrase “those who called on his name” in the preceding line.

[106:23]  ⁵ tn Heb “if not,” that is, “[and would have] if [Moses] had not.”

[106:23]  ⁶ tn Heb “stood in the gap before him.”

[106:23]  ⁷ tn Heb “to turn back his anger from destroying.”

[5:16]  ¹⁵ tn Or “the fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful”; Grk “is very powerful in its working.”

[5:17]  ¹⁶ tn Although it is certainly true that Elijah was a “man,” here ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") has been translated as “human being” because the emphasis in context is not on Elijah’s masculine gender, but on the common humanity he shared with the author and the readers.

[5:17]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “he prayed with prayer” (using a Hebrew idiom to show intensity).
