Ephesians 1:19

1:19 and what is the incomparable ⁹  greatness of his power toward ¹⁰  us who believe, as displayed in ¹¹  the exercise of his immense strength. ¹² 

[5:24]  ¹ tn Heb “his glory and his greatness.”

[5:24]  ² tn Heb “this day we have seen.”

[5:1]  ³ tn Heb “and Moses called to all Israel and he said to them”; NAB, NASB, NIV “Moses summoned (convened NRSV) all Israel.”

[29:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “your.”

[145:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “and concerning his greatness there is no searching.”

[10:6]  ⁶ tn The words “I said” are not in the Hebrew text, but there appears to be a shift in speaker. Someone is now addressing the Lord. The likely speaker is Jeremiah, so the words “I said” are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[10:6]  ⁷ tn The form that introduces this line has raised debate. The form מֵאֵין (me’en) normally means “without” and introduces a qualification of a term expressing desolation or “so that not” and introduces a negative result (cf. BDB 35 s.v. II אַיִן 6.b). Neither of these nuances fit either this verse or the occurrence in v. 7. BDB 35 s.v. II אַיִן 6.b.γ notes that some have explained this as a strengthened form of אַיִן (’ayin) which occurs in a similar phrase five other times (cf., e.g., 1 Kgs 8:23). Though many including BDB question the validity of this solution it is probably better than the suggestion that BDB gives of repointing to מֵאַיִן (me’ayin, “whence”), which scarcely fits the context of v. 7, or the solution of HALOT 41 s.v. I אַיִן, which suggests that the מ (mem) is a double writing (dittograph) of the final consonant from the preceding word. That would assume that the scribe made the same error twice or was influenced the second time by the first erroneous writing.

[10:6]  ⁸ tn Heb “Great is your name in power.”

[1:19]  ⁹ tn Or “immeasurable, surpassing”

[1:19]  ¹⁰ tn Or “for, to”

[1:19]  ¹¹ tn Grk “according to.”

[1:19]  ¹² tn Grk “according to the exercise of the might of his strength.”
