[3:28]  ¹ tn Heb “command”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “charge Joshua.”

[10:21]  ² tn Heb “your praise.” The pronoun is subjective and the noun “praise” is used here metonymically for the object of their praise (the Lord).

[4:42]  ³ tn Heb “the slayer who slew his neighbor without knowledge.”

[4:42]  ⁴ tn Heb “yesterday and a third (day).” The point is that there was no animosity between the two parties at the time of the accident and therefore no motive for the killing.

[9:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation in keeping with contemporary English style to avoid redundancy.

[19:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “and this is the word pertaining to the one who kills who flees there and lives.”

[19:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “who strikes his neighbor without knowledge.”

[19:4]  ⁷ tn Heb “yesterday and a third (day)” (likewise in v. 6). The point is that there was no animosity between the two parties at the time of the accident and therefore no motive for the killing. Cf. NAB “had previously borne no malice”; NRSV “had not been at enmity before.”

[29:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “in order to establish you today to him for a people and he will be to you for God.” Verses 10-13 are one long sentence in Hebrew. The translation divides this into two sentences for stylistic reasons.

[29:13]  ⁷ tn Heb “fathers” (also in v. 25).
