[22:8]  ¹ tn Or “a parapet” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV); KJV “a battlement”; NLT “a barrier.”

[22:8]  ² tn Heb “that you not place bloodshed in your house.”

[32:17]  ³ tn Heb “your fathers.”

[20:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “people” (also in vv. 8, 9).

[20:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “Who [is] the man” (also in vv. 6, 7, 8).

[20:5]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew term חָנַךְ (khanakh) occurs elsewhere only with respect to the dedication of Solomon’s temple (1 Kgs 8:63 = 2 Chr 7:5). There it has a religious connotation which, indeed, may be the case here as well. The noun form (חָנֻכָּה, khanukah) is associated with the consecration of the great temple altar (2 Chr 7:9) and of the postexilic wall of Jerusalem (Neh 12:27). In Maccabean times the festival of Hanukkah was introduced to celebrate the rededication of the temple following its desecration by Antiochus IV Epiphanes (1 Macc 4:36-61).

[20:5]  ⁸ tn Heb “another man.”

[33:28]  ⁷ tn Heb “all alone.” The idea is that such vital resources as water will some day no longer need protection because God will provide security.

[33:28]  ⁸ tn Or “skies.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[33:28]  ⁹ tn Or perhaps “drizzle, showers.” See note at Deut 32:2.

[18:4]  ⁹ tn Heb “the firstfruits of your…” (so NIV).

[11:14]  ¹¹ tn The words “he promises” do not appear in the Hebrew text but are needed in the translation to facilitate the transition from the condition (v. 13) to the promise and make it clear that the Lord is speaking the words of vv. 14-15.

[11:14]  ¹² tn Heb “the rain of your land.” In this case the genitive (modifying term) indicates the recipient of the rain.

[11:14]  ¹³ sn The autumn and the spring rains. The “former” (יוֹרֶה, yoreh) and “latter” (מַלְקוֹשׁ, malqosh) rains come in abundance respectively in September/October and March/April. Planting of most crops takes place before the former rains fall and the harvests follow the latter rains.

[14:23]  ¹³ tn This refers to wine in the early stages of fermentation. In its later stages it becomes wine (יַיִן, yayin) in its mature sense.

[28:51]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “it” (so NRSV), a collective singular referring to the invading nation (several times in this verse and v. 52).

[28:51]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “increase of herds.”

[28:51]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “growth of flocks.”

[32:2]  ¹⁷ tn Or “mist,” “light drizzle.” In some contexts the term appears to refer to light rain, rather than dew.

[7:13]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “will bless the fruit of your womb” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV).

[24:5]  ²¹ tn Heb “go out with.”

[24:5]  ²² tc For the MT’s reading Piel שִׂמַּח (simmakh, “bring joy to”), the Syriac and others read שָׂמַח (samakh, “enjoy”).

[28:57]  ²³ tn Heb includes “that which comes out from between her feet.”

[28:57]  ²⁴ tn Heb “her sons that she will bear.”

[28:57]  ²⁵ tn Heb includes “in her need for everything.”

[31:13]  ²⁵ tn The phrase “this law” is not in the Hebrew text, but English style requires an object for the verb here. Other translations also supply the object which is otherwise implicit (cf. NIV “who do not know this law”; TEV “who have never heard the Law of the Lord your God”).

[8:3]  ²⁷ tn Heb “manna which you and your ancestors did not know.” By popular etymology the word “manna” comes from the Hebrew phrase מָן הוּא (man hu’), i.e., “What is it?” (Exod 16:15). The question remains unanswered to this very day. Elsewhere the material is said to be “white like coriander seed” with “a taste like honey cakes” (Exod 16:31; cf. Num 11:7). Modern attempts to associate it with various desert plants are unsuccessful for the text says it was a new thing and, furthermore, one that appeared and disappeared miraculously (Exod 16:21-27).

[8:3]  ²⁸ tn Heb “in order to make known to you.” In the Hebrew text this statement is subordinated to what precedes, resulting in a very long sentence in English. The translation makes this statement a separate sentence for stylistic reasons.

[8:3]  ²⁹ tn Heb “the man,” but in a generic sense, referring to the whole human race (“mankind” or “humankind”).

[8:3]  ³⁰ tn The Hebrew term may refer to “food” in a more general sense (cf. CEV).

[8:3]  ³¹ sn Jesus quoted this text to the devil in the midst of his forty-day fast to make the point that spiritual nourishment is incomparably more important than mere physical bread (Matt 4:4; cf. Luke 4:4).
