[10:4]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:4]  ² tn Heb “according to the former writing.” See note on the phrase “the same words” in v. 2.

[10:4]  ³ tn Heb “ten words.” The “Ten Commandments” are known in Hebrew as the “Ten Words,” which in Greek became the “Decalogue.”

[10:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[10:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” earlier in this verse.

[34:28]  ⁶ tn These too are adverbial in relation to the main clause, telling how long Moses was with Yahweh on the mountain.

[34:28]  ⁷ tn Heb “the ten words,” though “commandments” is traditional.
