[11:15]  ¹ tn Heb “grass in your field.”

[28:3]  ² tn Or “in the country” (so NAB, NIV, NLT). This expression also occurs in v. 15.

[14:22]  ³ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, indicated in the translation by the words “be certain.”

[22:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the man who attacked the woman) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “in the field.”

[24:19]  ⁶ tn Heb “of your hands.” This law was later applied in the story of Ruth who, as a poor widow, was allowed by generous Boaz to glean in his fields (Ruth 2:1-13).

[5:21]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew verb used here (חָמַד, khamad) is different from the one translated “crave” (אָוַה, ’avah) in the next line. The former has sexual overtones (“lust” or the like; cf. Song of Sol 2:3) whereas the latter has more the idea of a desire or craving for material things.

[5:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “your neighbor’s.” See note on the term “fellow man” in v. 19.

[5:21]  ⁸ tn Heb “your neighbor’s.” The pronoun is used in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[5:21]  ⁹ tn Heb “or anything that is your neighbor’s.”

[7:22]  ⁷ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 7:19.

[21:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “slain [one].” The term חָלָל (khalal) suggests something other than a natural death (cf. Num 19:16; 23:24; Jer 51:52; Ezek 26:15; 30:24; 31:17-18).

[21:1]  ⁹ tn The Hebrew text includes “to possess it,” but this has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[21:1]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “struck,” but in context a fatal blow is meant; cf. NLT “who committed the murder.”

[22:25]  ⁹ tn Heb “found,” also in vv. 27, 28.

[22:25]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “lay with” here refers to a forced sexual relationship, as the accompanying verb “seized” (חָזַק, khazaq) makes clear.

[22:25]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the man who lay with her, only him.”

[32:13]  ¹⁰ tn The form of the suffix on this verbal form indicates that the verb is a preterite, not an imperfect. As such it simply states the action factually. Note as well the preterites with vav (ו) consecutive that follow in the verse.

[32:13]  ¹¹ tn Heb “he made him suck honey from the rock.”

[32:13]  ¹² tn Heb “oil,” but this probably refers to olive oil; see note on the word “rock” at the end of this verse.

[32:13]  ¹³ tn Heb “flinty.”

[32:13]  ¹⁴ sn Olive oil from rock probably suggests olive trees growing on rocky ledges and yet doing so productively. See E. H. Merrill, Deuteronomy (NAC), 415; cf. TEV “their olive trees flourished in stony ground.”

[20:19]  ¹¹ tn Heb “to fight against it to capture it.”

[20:19]  ¹² tn Heb “you must not destroy its trees by chopping them with an iron” (i.e., an ax).

[20:19]  ¹³ tn Heb “you may eat from them.” The direct object is not expressed; the word “fruit” is supplied in the translation for clarity.

[20:19]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “to go before you in siege.”
