[33:12]  1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[33:12]  2 tn Heb “between his shoulders.” This suggests the scene in John 13:23 with Jesus and the Beloved Disciple.

[33:28]  3 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]  4 tn Or “skies.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[33:28]  5 tn Or perhaps “drizzle, showers.” See note at Deut 32:2.
