[28:22]  ¹ tn Heb “The Lord.” See note on “he” in 28:8.

[28:22]  ² tn Or perhaps “consumption” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV). The term is from a verbal root that indicates a weakening of one’s physical strength (cf. NAB “wasting”; NIV, NLT “wasting disease”).

[28:22]  ³ tn Heb “hot fever”; NIV “scorching heat.”

[28:22]  ⁴ tn Or “drought” (so NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[1:44]  ⁵ tn Heb “in that hill country,” repeating the end of v. 43.

[1:44]  ⁶ tn Heb “came out to meet.”

[1:44]  ⁷ sn Hormah is probably Khirbet el-Meshash, 5.5 mi (9 km) west of Arad and 7.5 mi (12 km) SE of Beer Sheba. Its name is a derivative of the verb חָרָם (kharam, “to ban; to exterminate”). See Num 21:3.

[16:20]  ⁹ tn Heb “justice, justice.” The repetition is emphatic; one might translate as “pure justice” or “unadulterated justice” (cf. NLT “true justice”).

[32:30]  ¹³ tn The words “man” and “of them” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[32:30]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “sold them” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[11:4]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “Reed Sea.” “Reed Sea” (or “Sea of Reeds”) is a more accurate rendering of the Hebrew expression יָם סוּף (yam suf), traditionally translated “Red Sea.” See note on the term “Red Sea” in Exod 13:18.

[11:4]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[11:4]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and the Lord destroyed them to this day” (cf. NRSV); NLT “he has kept them devastated to this very day.” The translation uses the verb “annihilated” to indicate the permanency of the action.

[19:6]  ²¹ tn Heb “and overtake him, for the road is long.”

[19:6]  ²² tn Heb “smite with respect to life,” that is, fatally.

[19:6]  ²³ tn Heb “no judgment of death.”

[28:45]  ²⁵ tn Heb “commanded”; NAB, NIV, TEV “he gave you.”
