[5:21]  ¹ tn The Hebrew verb used here (חָמַד, khamad) is different from the one translated “crave” (אָוַה, ’avah) in the next line. The former has sexual overtones (“lust” or the like; cf. Song of Sol 2:3) whereas the latter has more the idea of a desire or craving for material things.

[5:21]  ² tn Heb “your neighbor’s.” See note on the term “fellow man” in v. 19.

[5:21]  ³ tn Heb “your neighbor’s.” The pronoun is used in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[5:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “or anything that is your neighbor’s.”

[23:25]  ⁵ sn For the continuation of these practices into NT times see Matt 12:1-8; Mark 2:23-28; Luke 6:1-5.

[23:24]  ⁹ tn Heb “grapes according to your appetite, your fullness.”

[23:24]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “in your container”; NAB, NIV “your basket.”

[19:14]  ¹³ tn Heb “border.” Cf. NRSV “You must not move your neighbor’s boundary marker.”

[19:14]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “which they set off from the beginning.”

[19:14]  ¹⁵ tn The Hebrew text includes “to possess it.” This phrase has been left untranslated to avoid redundancy.

[13:6]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “your brother, the son of your mother.” In a polygamous society it was not rare to have half brothers and sisters by way of a common father and different mothers.

[13:6]  ¹⁸ tn In the Hebrew text these words are in the form of a brief quotation: “entice you secretly saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods.’”

[13:6]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “fathers” (also in v. 17).

[13:6]  ²⁰ tn Heb “which you have not known, you or your fathers.” (cf. KJV, ASV; on “fathers” cf. v. 18).
