[6:3]  ¹ tn Heb “may multiply greatly” (so NASB, NRSV); the words “in number” have been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[6:3]  ² tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 10, 18, 23).

[11:2]  ³ tn Heb “that not.” The words “I am speaking” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[11:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “who have not known and who have not seen the discipline of the Lord.” The collocation of the verbs “know” and “see” indicates that personal experience (knowing by seeing) is in view. The term translated “discipline” (KJV, ASV “chastisement”) may also be rendered “instruction,” but vv. 2b-6 indicate that the referent of the term is the various acts of divine judgment the Israelites had witnessed.

[11:2]  ⁵ tn The words “which revealed” have been supplied in the translation to show the logical relationship between the terms that follow and the divine judgments. In the Hebrew text the former are in apposition to the latter.

[11:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “his strong hand and his stretched-out arm.”

[11:4]  ⁵ 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]  ⁶ tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[11:4]  ⁷ 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.

[11:6]  ⁷ sn Dathan and Abiram. These two (along with others) had challenged Moses’ leadership in the desert with the result that the earth beneath them opened up and they and their families disappeared (Num 16:1-3, 31-35).

[11:6]  ⁸ tn Or “the descendant of Reuben”; Heb “son of Reuben.”

[11:6]  ⁹ tn Heb “in the midst of all Israel” (so KJV, ASV, NRSV); NASB “among all Israel.” In the Hebrew text these words appear at the end of the verse, but they are logically connected with the verbs. To make this clear the translation places the phrase after the first verb.

[11:6]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “their houses,” referring to all who lived in their household. Cf. KJV, ASV, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT “households.”

[11:6]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and all the substance which was at their feet.”

[18:20]  ⁹ tn Or “commanded” (so KJV, NAB, NIV, NRSV).

[19:5]  ¹¹ tn Heb “his neighbor” (so NAB, NIV); NASB “his friend.”

[19:5]  ¹² tn Heb “and he raises his hand with the iron.”

[19:5]  ¹³ tn Heb “the iron slips off.”

[19:5]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “finds.”

[19:5]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “his neighbor.”

[19:5]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the person responsible for his friend’s death) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:5]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and live.”

[23:4]  ¹³ tn Heb “hired against you.”
