[21:7]  ¹ tn Heb “our eyes.” This is a figure of speech known as synecdoche in which the part (the eyes) is put for the whole (the entire person).

[21:7]  ² tn Heb “seen”; the implied object (the crime committed) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[29:3]  ³ tn Heb “testings.” This is a reference to the plagues; see note at 4:34.

[10:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “your praise.” The pronoun is subjective and the noun “praise” is used here metonymically for the object of their praise (the Lord).

[32:39]  ⁷ tn Verses 39-42 appear to be a quotation of the Lord and so the introductory phrase “says the Lord” is supplied in the translation for clarity.

[32:39]  ⁸ tn Heb “deliver from” (so NRSV, NLT).

[4:9]  ⁹ tn Heb “watch yourself and watch your soul carefully.”

[7:19]  ¹¹ tn Heb “testings” (so NAB), a reference to the plagues. See note at 4:34.

[7:19]  ¹² tn Heb “the strong hand and outstretched arm.” See 4:34.

[7:19]  ¹³ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[11:2]  ¹³ tn Heb “that not.” The words “I am speaking” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[11:2]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “who have not known and who have not seen the discipline of the Lord.” The collocation of the verbs “know” and “see” indicates that personal experience (knowing by seeing) is in view. The term translated “discipline” (KJV, ASV “chastisement”) may also be rendered “instruction,” but vv. 2b-6 indicate that the referent of the term is the various acts of divine judgment the Israelites had witnessed.

[11:2]  ¹⁵ tn The words “which revealed” have been supplied in the translation to show the logical relationship between the terms that follow and the divine judgments. In the Hebrew text the former are in apposition to the latter.

[11:2]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “his strong hand and his stretched-out arm.”
