[22:25]  ¹ tn Heb “found,” also in vv. 27, 28.

[22:25]  ² tn Heb “lay with” here refers to a forced sexual relationship, as the accompanying verb “seized” (חָזַק, khazaq) makes clear.

[22:25]  ³ tn Heb “the man who lay with her, only him.”

[24:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “may not lie down in his pledge.” What is in view is the use of clothing as guarantee for the repayment of loans, a matter already addressed elsewhere (Deut 23:19-20; 24:6; cf. Exod 22:25-26; Lev 25:35-37). Cf. NAB “you shall not sleep in the mantle he gives as a pledge”; NRSV “in the garment given you as the pledge.”

[6:7]  ⁷ tn Heb “repeat” (so NLT). If from the root I שָׁנַן (shanan), the verb means essentially to “engrave,” that is, “to teach incisively” (Piel); note NAB “Drill them into your children.” Cf. BDB 1041-42 s.v.

[6:7]  ⁸ tn Or “as you are away on a journey” (cf. NRSV, TEV, NLT); NAB “at home and abroad.”

[11:19]  ¹⁰ tn Or “as you are away on a journey” (cf. NRSV, TEV, NLT); NAB “at home and abroad.”

[22:23]  ¹³ tn Heb “finds.”

[22:23]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “lies with.”

[22:28]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “lies with.”

[27:21]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “lies with any animal” (so NASB, NRSV). “To lie with” is a Hebrew euphemism for having sexual relations with someone (or in this case, some animal).

[22:22]  ²² tn Heb “lying with” (so KJV, NASB), a Hebrew idiom for sexual relations.

[22:22]  ²³ tn Heb “a woman married to a husband.”

[22:22]  ²⁴ tn Heb “burn.” See note on the phrase “purge out” in Deut 21:21.

[24:13]  ²⁵ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation seeks to reflect with “by all means.”

[24:13]  ²⁶ tn Or “righteous” (so NIV, NLT).

[27:20]  ²⁸ tn Heb “who lies with” (so NASB, NRSV); also in vv. 22, 23. This is a Hebrew idiom for having sexual relations (cf. NIV “who sleeps with”; NLT “who has sexual intercourse with”).

[27:20]  ²⁹ tn See note at Deut 22:30.

[27:20]  ³⁰ tn Heb “he uncovers his father’s skirt” (NASB similar). See note at Deut 22:30.

[31:16]  ³¹ tn Heb “lie down with your fathers” (so NASB); NRSV “ancestors.”

[31:16]  ³² tn Heb “he.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “they,” which is necessary in any case in the translation because of contemporary English style. The third person singular also occurs in the Hebrew text twice more in this verse, three times in v. 17, once in v. 18, five times in v. 20, and four times in v. 21. Each time it is translated as third person plural for stylistic reasons.

[31:16]  ³³ tn Heb “he.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “they.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[31:16]  ³⁴ tn Or “abandon” (TEV, NLT).

[31:16]  ³⁵ tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.
